The Voile Charger Ace Women's ski is a powerhouse in a lightweight package, delivering the performance of a heavyweight at only seven pounds for the pair. Designed with Voile’s downhill performance expertise, unmatched mounting strength, and a durable, functional notched tail protector, this ski is built to excel in challenging conditions.
The Charge Ace offers a weight between the HyperCharger and SuperCharger, giving it the smoothest ride of all three without added bulk. Its continuous sidewall enhances edge control and provides a touch of stiffness for dynamic turns. We love that it also allows for effortless maneuverability thanks to the tapered sidewall, combined with a partial cap layup.
Featuring a robust maple mounting patch, the W Charger Ace is primed to pair with the lightest tech bindings and the most demanding telemark setups, ready to conquer any terrain with agility and power.

Maintenance Tips
- Wax the sintered base regularly to maintain fast glide and protect against drying and oxidation.
- Keep edges sharp and clean for secure grip on hardpack, steeps, and variable backcountry snow.
- Dry skis completely after every tour, especially around edges and binding areas, to prevent rust.
- Inspect binding mounts and hardware frequently; tighten screws if any movement or noise develops.
- Repair base scratches and core shots promptly using P-Tex to preserve durability and performance.
- Clean off snow and ice buildup from the topsheet after use to reduce moisture retention and weight.
- Avoid long exposure to heat (cars, direct sun) which can affect camber and base structure.
- Apply a thick storage wax at season end and store in a cool, dry place.
