Reignite your skiing progression

When 90% of your skiing is on the piste, make sure you aren't just cruising every day. Carv gives you the tools of an Olympic-level instructor to help you push your performance to new levels.

Carv uses the world's most advanced consumer pressure and motion chip to record 35 metrics, 25 times a second. Carv's smart insert tracks your:

  • boot motion
  • ski orientation and similarity
  • ski edging and similarity
  • pressure distribution
  • fore/aft balance
  • and much more...

Get a totally new level of insight into your skiing technique and find out where you can improve.

Carv takes your skiing profile and scores each turn against professional-level PSIA benchmarks for:

  • Edging - how is your edge angle developing through the turn, are you skis symmetrical?
  • Pressure - how smoothly are you transferring pressure to your outside ski?
  • Rotation - how consistently do you rotate each ski?
  • Balance - are you centered during each turn or are you backseat?

Carv gives you the data breakdown behind each metric and personal tips to focus on next run.

The difference between good skiing and great skiing often comes down to a few small flaws in technique. We've designed Carv to help you find them and crush them.

  • Improve your flow
    Set a beat and keep pace with the Metronome Challenge or use the Rhythm Drill to enhance your flow.
  • Develop short and long radius carving
    Complete increasingly demanding levels of Carving Training to improve your edge angle, roll smoothness and pressure control.
  • Enhance your transitions
    Learn how to harness your carving pressure release and improve your edge-to-edge transition with the Carving Leapers Drill.

Ski drills just changed forever

Traditional ski drills are a great way to improve, but they can be boring and it's difficult to know if you're performing the movements correctly. Until now.

Carv turns ski drills into a game, using live pressure and motion sensing to tell you if you are passing or failing each turn, in real-time.

Think you've got what it takes to get to pro-level execution? Carv adapts to your level as you ski, changing the difficulty of each drill as you improve so even advanced skiers can refine their skills.

  • “I am loving the drills and I am so obsessed with levelling up as much as I can that we don’t stop for lunch till 3pm.”

  • “Carv let me know mid-run that I was applying uneven and inconsistent pressure in my turns to the right. I course-corrected and was rewarded with a “That’s it, nice work!” from Carv.”

Challenges

Add a new dimension to your next skip trip with the Carv challenges.

Think you can generate the most G-force in a turn, carv the highest edge angle, or ski perfectly on the beat?

Show your friends who's boss by beating the challenges, or go solo and set a new high score.

Setting up Carv is easy

  • 01

    Measure your skiing

    The Carv insert fits under the liner of your ski boot. Carv measures your motion and pressure 20 times a second - sending the data to your phone, via bluetooth.

  • 02

    In-App Analysis

    The app gives you a detailed performance summary of your technique, and a focus area to improve based on your runs.

  • 03

    Real-Time Coaching

    Carv helps you improve with real-time audio coaching, personalized tips on the chairlift and gamified skiing drills and sounds on every turn.

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.

Most of us end up skiing at the same level for years, especially if we are already an advanced skier.

We hit a plateau because it is hard to know where the next breakthrough will come from.

We designed Carv to take the guesswork out of great skiing:

  • Push your carving to the next level with detailed analysis
  • Improve your consistency and efficiency
  • Create higher pressure and edge angle.

If you can beat the top level drills and master the Carv ski challenges you'll be doing better than most instructors.

  • 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.

“It did exactly what it said it would do. It has the potential of really educating people on what great skiing is.”
