Setting up Carv is easy

    In-App Analysis

    Real-Time Coaching

    Carv helps you improve with real-time audio coaching, personalized tips on the chairlift and gamified skiing drills and sounds on every turn.

Carv has three modes so you can choose a style of coaching that suits your mood each day:

  1. Free Ski mode - Carv speaks to you on the chairlift, telling you how you did that run and giving you one tip to help you improve on the next run.
  2. Training mode - Learn with interactive ski drills. Carv will score your technique with audio sounds as you ski, so you know when you're performing that skill perfectly. Rise up through 20 levels of increasing difficulty.
  3. Challenges mode - Test a specific skiing skill and set a new high score in Carv's skiing challenges.

Explore the modes

We have designed Carv to measure and coach the fundamentals of skiing for a wide range of skiers.

You can expect to develop:

  • Smooth parallel turns to increase your confidence
  • Rotation and edging, helping you on steeper slopes
  • An athletic stance to help you on varied terrain
  • Edging and pressure control to push your carving to the next level.

You can choose to learn with real-time audio tips, interactive drills, videos and live data monitors.


Most of us end up skiing at the same level for years, especially if we are already an advanced skier.

We hit a plateau because it is hard to know where the next breakthrough will come from.

We designed Carv to take the guesswork out of great skiing:

  • Push your carving to the next level with detailed analysis
  • Improve your consistency and efficiency
  • Create higher pressure and edge angle.

If you can beat the top level drills and master the Carv ski challenges you'll be doing better than most instructors.

Yes, Carv is the same thickness as a boot warmer at 3mm. It will fit in almost all ski boots including stock boots, custom moulded boots and boots with custom insoles. We offer a boot-fit guarantee so you can find the perfect match with Carv.
