Transform your style with Carv

96% of advanced skiers on Carv told us they improved

Level: Advanced

Based on your responses, you are an advanced skier with an estimated Ski:IQ between 115-140.

As an advanced skier, Carv will transform the fundamentals of your turn so you can ski more efficiently, with dynamic balance, more control, and a more rounded turn shape.

How Carv Helps Advanced Skiers

As an advanced skier, you are probably getting some edge engagement, but struggling to maintain control on trickier runs. Key areas for you to concentrate on include applying pressure on the outside ski and refining your turn shape.

Carv measures how much pressure you're applying to your outside ski. Applying enough pressure to the outside ski will give you more control in short turns, high-speed carving, and variable conditions. This ability to adjust body movements for better pressure management is key to advancing overall ski technique.
Carv measures how constantly your skis rotate during the turn. A rounded turn shape helps you control your speed and tire less than when executing Z-shaped turns. A common mistake among skiers is rotating skis across the fall line too early, rushing into the next turn.

How I use Carv as an advanced skier

Ski:IQ 147

Hi, I'm Liv

I work in the marketing team. I generally score between 130-140ish, but I really want to push my skiing to be better in harder terrain.

I'm going to take you through some of my favorite Carv modes, and how I'm using the device to ski better this winter.

Liv's recommended feature

Monitor Modes

Understanding exactly when I'm going wrong in my skiing has always been a challenge for me.

Monitor modes are great for this - they objectively tell me how well I'm performing in real-time. It gives me a score for each turn, so I can figure out the 'right' and 'wrong' feelings.
Carv is great at motivating me to improve. I ski in the 'Train with an Olympian' mode a lot for this reason - you get advice from Ted Ligety as you ski and get audio feedback on each turn.

Unlocking the levels by acting on the feedback is super motivating - it has resulted in visible improvement in my carving.

Carv is made up of a season pass membership, and a device.

Your membership will give you access to our latest app analytics, as well as new on-snow and off-snow training content every season.

If you're not happy with Carv you can simply return it to us and we will refund both the membership and device cost.

Carv works with regular headphones, Airpods and any other bluetooth headphones. See our recommendations here.
Almost all helmets work with in-ear headphones, so you don't need to make adjustments to your current helmet
If you do not want to ski with headphones, you can still improve with text-based tips, scores and drills.

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.

Carv will automatically detect the difficulty and snow type that your skiing on - taking into account steepness and terrain variability (bumps, crud, powder). Carv will adapt your score based on the terrain so you're always rewarded for keeping your form when things get dicey.

Carv's coaching is focussed on developing an efficient, dynamic and stylish technique. It will push you to make more stable, rounded and exciting turns. While Carv is not designed to coach you in off piste (yet), the improvements it will make in your fundamental technique will certainly iron out issues so when you do get the perfect pow conditions of the season - you are focussed on your line not your technique.
