Imagine if you applied the solid lightweight construction and easy skiing rockered tips of Voile skis to an ultralight size geared for skimo racing and speed touring. Well Voile did just that when they started the Wasatch Speed Project. The resulting ski by the same name is as unique as the namesake mountains that rise above Salt Lake City, Utah, where the skis are made.
A lot of people have been skiing uphill fast in the Wasatch mountains in recent years. They (and you) can now do so affordably with an American made ski. With a profile based on the popular Vector backcountry ski, the Voile WSP is designed to get you uphill fast and get you downhill with a smile.
- Sizeable tip rocker helps avoid somersaults while charging downhill for the finish line.
- Race weight of 780 grams (1 pound 11.5 ounces) keeps you competitive on the up.
- Durable Voile construction is the same platform found on their much loved touring skis.
- First skimo race ski built in North America, and now sold by an American Skimo Co.
Note that Voile suggests a skier weight range of 110-170 pounds for this ski.
Update 2017/18: The Speed Project got faster and more energetic thanks to the black base material. Besides that and a new topsheet, the ski remains the same.
Update 2019/20: Voile added a 150cm option to this ski in lieu of the Voile Wasatch Speed Girl. Voile gave both lengths a new coat of paint.
