How can Carv improve Turn Shape?

Carv is a coach that's with you on every run, working behind the scenes and turning each turn into fuel for progress.

This is how Carv will improve your turn shape ➡️

Learn about the skill

The Turn Shape metric measures how constantly you rotate your skis through the turn.

The more rounded your turns, the more efficient and controlled your skiing...

Find out your score

At your level, you’d be scoring around 20-50%. This translates to breaking, Z-shaped turns.

In the app, you can see your score and visualize your turns.

Get tips and drills to improve

In the 'Improve' section of the Turn Shape tab, you can access pro tips and advice to help you improve.

Example:

"Try starting your turns by simply releasing your edges. Be patient and allow gravity to pull you into a new turn."
Tom Gellie | Industry leading ski coach
