How it works
How Carv helps skiers break through to the next level...
Carv tracks your skiing
See what's holding you back
Snowplow
Your skis stays wide through the turn, which is why speed feels inconsistent.
Parallel skis
They drift apart mid-turn, reducing control on steeper runs.
Turn Shape
Turns skid or finish late, so speed builds faster than you’d like.
Balance
Your weight moves back or inside, and the turn feels less stable as a result.

FAQ
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.
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.
No. Carv is designed to either work with audio coaching in your headphones, or you you can review your feedback on the lift or at the end of the run. We have designed it so you can ski with your phone away, track every run and get instant feedback throughout your day if you want.
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.
Carv’s passes are active for 365 days.
That means if you buy Carv now, you’ll get this season and most of next season to enjoy Carv, all within your first year of membership.
That makes the end of the season a great time to join Carv.
