Vector ACE

The Voile Vector ACE is Voile's light, damp touring ski, built on an early rise camber profile with a waist of 90 to 98mm depending on length. A paulownia core, continuous TPU sidewall and two layers of Voile Carbon-Weave keep it light without making it chattery.
The ACE construction adds a continuous sidewall and a maple mounting patch, which gives a damper, more planted feel than a pure ultralight build. The trade-off is a little more weight than Voile's lightest Hyper models.
It is a strong pick for skiers who want one touring ski for the whole season, from powder days to firm spring lines. It works with both telemark and AT bindings, so it fits free-heel and locked-heel skiers alike.
Width and radius scale with length, from 16.5m in the 157 to 20m in the 184. Choose your usual touring length, or go a size longer if you like to ski fast.
For skiers who want a stable, all-around touring ski they can count on in any snow, the Vector ACE is a fantastic choice.

This guide is for alpine (downhill) skis. Ski length depends on your height, your ability, and how you like to ski. Use this chart as a starting point, then talk to us about the ski itself: rocker, width, and turn shape all change how long a ski feels.

Quick Rule
- Beginner: ski tip around your chin. Shorter skis turn easily.
- Intermediate: tip between your nose and forehead.
- Advanced: tip around the top of your head, for stability at speed.
- Expert: about 5cm longer than advanced, for hard charging and big-mountain terrain.
Adjust For
- Go longer: heavier build, fast skiing, deep snow, lots of tip rocker.
- Go shorter: lighter build, tight trees and moguls, uphill touring.
- Telemark: if you want a ski for tele, we recommend going down about 10cm from the length you normally like.
