How it works - Expert

Carv for beginners

Here is how Carv helps beginner and intermediate skiers find confidence and control...

See what's holding you back

Carv measures exactly how you move on your skis. No guessing, just a clear picture of how you're skiing.
  • Your Your turn shape

    Your Your turn shape

    When your turns finish too sharply, speed builds suddenly and control feels reactive.

  • Your edging

    Your edging

    When edge engagement comes in too late, skis slide before they bite, making it difficult to carve.

  • Your balance

    Your balance

    When your weight drops behind your feet at the start of the turn, skis stop responding and grip disappears.

  • Your transition between turns

    Your transition between turns

    When balance shifts back or inside, turns feel unstable.
