Carv will help you refine your ski technique and enable you to increase your carve depth and consistency on steeper slopes.
Carv Helps Expert Skiers With:
Advanced skiers can elevate their performance by concentrating on pressure control. It’s more complex than just leaning forward and requires a thoughtful application. Applying the right amount of pressure at the right time enhances grip and speed control, which are crucial for better carving on various terrains.
Carv measures how much you continue to build edge angles throughout the turn until transitioning into the next turn. It’s a crucial skill for speed control on steep terrain; progressively building your edge allows you to pull a tighter turn. This is the key to a more dynamic carving style.
Carv assesses the speed at which your edge angle increases at the turn's outset - initiating early edge engagement creates a solid platform for quicker and more dynamic skiing. Achieving early edging involves shifting your center of mass over your skis during the transition phase of a turn.

How I use Carv as an expert
Ski:IQ 160
Hi, I'm Ulli
I'm a Swiss ski instructor and I've been working with Carv for a few years now. I love how objective and accurate the system is as giving me specific things to work on in my skiing.
Here's how I like to use Carv - for myself, and also in my lessons.
Ulli's Recommended Features
Carv is really helpful at giving you direction - where can you improve your technique? What is going wrong in your skiing?
That instant feedback shows you what’s happening when you make a turn. The metrics help you to identify which parts of your performance are working for you - and which are maybe working against you or holding you back.
For me, monitor modes are my favorite Carv feature. I love it because it’s so objective - having the actual edge angle announced with every turn means I can immediately adjust my movements accordingly.
Even in my skiing, I like to use monitors on easy groomers when I’m just focussing on my carving technique. It’s a way for me to check in on where I’m at.
