Carv was born out of the idea that better skiers have more fun. Most of us want to improve, to ski harder terrain, and to feel more confident and controlled while doing it, whatever our level. With Carv, you don’t have to choose between learning and skiing. Every run you ski powers your journey to better skiing, wherever you ski, whoever you want to ski with. Improve your technique, and have more fun on snow. Magical AI Analysis Powered by Motion AI, Carv analyzes every movement of your boots and transforms it into objective, real-time feedback that helps you improve without breaking up your day. With each run, Carv provides a performance score and technique breakdown, tracking your progress over time so you can see just how far you’ve come. Real-Time Coaching The experience is fully tailored to you. Carv sets a focus area based on your goals and skill level, so you always know what to work on next. And you can choose the level of coaching that fits your day — from no audio, to tips on the chairlift, to real-time feedback on every turn. Now with automatic terrain detection, Carv adapts to the snow surface underfoot—whether you’re skiing powder, groomers, or moguls—and adjusts its coaching to suit the terrain. Just clip on Carv and take it anywhere on the mountain for a seamless, personalized coaching experience that evolves with you. “Turn any ski boot into a personal coach.” - Bloomberg “Great for beginners [...] and perfection-obsessed experts.” - Outside “Carv is, without doubt, a game-changer for skiers.” - Forbes Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://getcarv.com/legal/privacy
