Introducing...
Carv Video Coach™
Ski videos are one of the most valuable improvement tools that coaches use with intermediate and expert skiers alike. They're great fun when you're skiing with friends too, but it can be hard to match the feeling of your best turns with what they look like on video.
So we've developed an easy way for you to take a ski video and overlay your Ski:IQ™ score - synced up for each turn. Now you can match the feeling of a great turn with your Ski:IQ™ and a visual of what your skiing looks like.
Plus, who doesn't love sharing a video of their best skiing 😉
Carv Video Coach™
Improve faster in 3 steps
- Get a friend to take a video of your skiing (they don't have to be a Carv member).
- Video Coach automatically syncs your Ski:IQ™ with each turn.
- Share your video to celebrate a new high score, or to pick up some tips.
Carv Video Coach™ is now available in the Carv app for all members.

Ski your best segment
Until now we’ve given you a single Ski:IQ™ for the whole trail. But within a trail, you’ll likely have a series of your best turns, as well as some not-so-good turns on a flatter section.
After surveying thousands of Carv members this summer, one of your most consistent suggestions was for more frequent feedback in free ski mode.
With new Segments, every time you pause on the side of the trail, Carv will give you a new Ski:IQ™ score for the segment you’ve just skied. So your scores will become more localized to the pitch you were just skiing. Dropping this season.
You asked, we delivered
Advice when you want
Our members told us that audio tips are one of the best tools to help you progress, and we’ve taken on board your suggestions to make them even more useful for you.
You'll be able to choose to receive tips:
- After every segment that you ski,
- On the chairlift, at the end of a run,
- Not at all (we won't take it personally).
We’re also improving tip focus and consistency, to help you hone in on one aspect of your skiing at a time. Dropping this season.

Start skiing faster
When you've made it to the resort, donned your gear, and queued for the lift, you're raring to get your first turns in. The last thing you want to do is add more idling time to your ski day.
That's why we've built a new Ski tab to give you exactly the information you need to start skiing with Carv as quickly as possible.
Check your Carv setup, choose your favourite ski mode, and hit "Start"! Dropping this season.
Tracking, upgraded
Review your day
This is a long-requested feature that we're excited to bring this season.
We've now added enhanced data capture when you review your skiing day, so you can tag the boots and skis you used, as well as what you were focusing on that day. Available now.
