Carv’s coaching is built around five skill pathways — Parallel, Carving, Short Turns, Moguls, and Powder — designed to help you progress wherever you ski.
Each pathway breaks complex techniques into simple, achievable steps, giving you real-time feedback and drills to master one skill at a time.
You’ll learn the key movements that unlock flow and control in every turn — from linking confident parallels to carving clean arcs or staying balanced in bumps and deep snow.
As you improve, Carv automatically adapts your coaching so you’re always working on the next challenge that moves your skiing forward.
Carv tracks every turn through ultra-precise motion sensors in your ski boots. The app analyses your technique in real time and gives you audio feedback as you ski — like having a world-class coach in your ear.
After each run, you’ll see your Ski:IQ — a measure of your overall performance — along with detailed insights in your skill pathway, which shows you how to improve specific skills and take your skiing to the next level.
When you ski with Carv, you simply set it running all day. You're in control of how it interacts with you.
There are three kinds of coaching in Carv — in-app data, video tips and audio coaching.
You can customise the level of audio coaching you want at anytime:
- Hear Ski:IQ data, with no coaching tips.
- Hear quick personalised tips on the chairlift. You’ll get short, actionable coaching cues designed by top instructors — things like “balance more against the outside ski”, “be patient when you start your turns”, or “keep your rhythm.” Each cue ties directly to your skill pathway and the data from your turns.
- You can also get gamified audio feedback to hit a certain target while you ski, so you can adapt from turn to turn.
No. Carv is built for every skier, not just experts. If you can ski around the resort by yourself and ride chairlifts without help, Carv is appropriate.
When you start, Carv automatically places you on a personalised skill pathway that matches your current ability, from early parallels to high-performance carving. Each pathway breaks skiing down into clear, achievable steps, with real-time coaching to help you master each skill before moving to the next.
As you improve, Carv adapts, unlocking new skills and feedback so you always know what to focus on next.
PS. If you are a complete beginner and have never skied before, we suggest you take a few lessons to become self-sufficient on the mountain. You'll need an in-person lesson to teach you the fundamentals of skiing.
Definitely. Many of Carv’s most active members are expert or instructor-level skiers. Experts use it to refine those fine details that make great skiing feel effortless.
Carv’s pathways are built with Olympians and pro-athletes so they are sensitive to measuring nuances in high-performance carving, as well as helping you build terrain versatility and consistency.
You’ll get data-driven feedback and coaching cues that reveal the small changes separating smooth from exceptional. Even seasoned instructors find Carv allows them to change things they couldn't spot themselves.
Give it a go! We're confident you'll find a new level to your skiing, which is why we have a 100-day returns policy.
Yes! Carv automatically detects the snow you’re skiing on — from groomers to bumps to powder.
You can ski anywhere and Carv will adapt your coaching to match the terrain, with dedicated coaching pathways for Parallel, Carving, Moguls, Short Turns, and Powder.
Wherever you ski, you’ll always have a clear next step to keep progressing.
