Carv for beginners
How Carv helps skiers find confidence and control...
Carv tracks your skiing
See what's holding you back
Turn closure
On steeper terrain, turn closure usually drops off, so speed control becomes reactive.
Edging
Edge angle often builds too abruptly instead of progressively.
Float
Rebound between turns may be insufficient in softer snow, reducing flow.
Transition
Pressure release between turns may be too limited, reducing flow.

FAQ
Carv analyses what terrain you're skiing, your turns and highlights the one or two things that will make the biggest difference to your skiing.
It does this by comparing the movement of your skis and model of skiing based on 1 billion ski turns across every level.
Over the season you'll see where you're at on the skill pathway and get tips as you ski to improve.
Ski:IQ™ is a measurement created by Carv to provide an objective score of your ski technique.
It is based on how you ski in each terrain, and how your ski movement patterns compare to perfect technique.
A beginner skier will score 70, an intermediate 100-120, advanced 120-140 an expert scoring 140-160.
Carv tracks your Ski:IQ™ over time so you know when you're improving.
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.
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.
Carv’s passes are active for 365 days.
