Voile Objective BC... I think I love you

Post by 12gaugesage » Sat Feb 13, 2021 8:17 pm

What can I say? Where have they been all these years? I wish I knew how wonderful they are.
They are so sweet, they do exactly what I tell them and they don't talk back.
They come around so quick, and smear so effortlessly, I almost feel like I'm cheating. Its almost like a different sport. I'd swear they turn quicker than my Hoks in 145.

My first non nordic ski (aside from the hoks). Different animal. Instant level up.

I did a intermediate BC up and down (Wildcat Valley trail), a lift serve day and some backwoods trail rambling, they were so great. Ive never been more confident and aggressive. Loving them, please forgive this pointless rant.

All good man!
Wonderful to read your joy with this ski!
Cross-country AND down-hill skiing in the backcountry.
Unashamed to be a "cross-country type" and love skiing down-hill.

I have not heard a bad review, glad you had fun Sage. Just curious, how much do you weigh?

T4s with Spike step ins. I think the spikes are a bit stiffer/more powerful than the STs Im used to, which adds to the sensation of control. Heavier though and maybe less efficient for touring. A worthy trade-off.

Hey! Is Vail *cough cough* Wildcat selling Single-Ride-Ups for access? There has been some questions about this, and no one answers the phone

I love my BC's. I skied the trail last year with them back to the Farm side, not 16.

No idea about wildcat, I always just hump it up from Jackson, introvert style, 1 car😊.
I will say though, I havent seen any alpine types coming down as Im climbing up this year.
