Quiz Flow: Beginner Intermediate

Carv for beginners

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

You want to feel more confident

Most skiers at your level know what they want - confidence - but not what’s actually holding them back.

Carv shows you the specific movements that break down, and gives you clear coaching to fix them.
Let's see what's holding you back

Let's see what's holding you back

The biggest thing holding skiers back is not knowing what to work on. When the focus isn’t clear, progress stalls.

Carv has measured over 1bn turns, revealing the patterns that matter most. Based on skiers at your level, here’s what typically unlocks progress next.
  • Your snowplow

    Your snowplow

    A wide snowplough makes speed control feel unpredictable.

  • Your parallel skis

    Your parallel skis

    When your skis drift out of parallel, control drops, especially when the run gets steeper.

  • Your speed control

    Your speed control

    If turns get rushed or skidded, speed feels harder to manage.

  • Your balance

    Your balance

    When balance shifts back or inside, turns feel unstable.

What you'll learn with the right feedback

  • Move from snowplow to parallel

    You will learn to:

    • Bring your skis parallel
    • Stay balanced and centred
    • Link turns smoothly

  • Build control and confidence

    You will learn to:

    • Stay in control as the runs get harder
    • Stop flighting the slope
    • Control speed using turn shape

  • Start carving

    You will learn to:

    • Start engaging your edges in the turn
    • Roll smoothly from one turn to turn

STEP 2

See what’s really happening in your turns

  • Get audio tips or go silent
