When you’re dropping into your favorite run, perfect technique isn’t always the intent. On the next run, however, your focus might shift to refining your form. That flexibility is the beauty of Carv 2: You can learn on your terms. This second-generation AI ski coaching program is equipped with new all-terrain technology for motion-based learning that provides helpful, actionable feedback whenever and wherever you want it. Here’s how it works.
The Carv 2 sensor clips securely to the top of your ski boot—an improvement in simplicity from its boot-insert predecessor. The sensor automatically detects the type of snow underfoot. Then, the Carv phone app, paired via Bluetooth connection, provides audio coaching tips tailored to the type of snow and terrain. There are no limitations—you can learn with Carv 2 on any run, from backcountry to groomers.
Seasoned and novice skiers alike can benefit from this tool. Just ask American alpine skier Ted Ligety, a two-time Olympic gold medalist. After using the previous iteration of the program, Ligety said he could see subtle differences between right and left turns, allowing for more insight into how to correct and streamline his downhill skills.
Now, Carv 2 promises better feedback that you can adjust to fit into your day. The system allows skiers to track their skiing, diagnose issues, and improve techniques on their own terms and sometimes while on the chairlift between runs.
This ski coach app is designed to help you tackle tougher terrain and ski more fluidly and efficiently. But real progress requires feedback, especially when we’re faced with challenging conditions. Carv 2 is designed to always be with you, so you’ll get objective data and advice when and where you need it.
With Carv 2, you can even choose how much or how little coaching you receive. For skiers who want to disconnect and focus on fun, the device will track your metrics while you ski with no interruptions, then give you in-depth performance insights at the lodge. But if you want to really focus on your form, you can easily turn on Carv’s personalized audio tips, which play when you’re riding the chairlift or while skiing. This real-time feedback actually reacts to your skiing, helping you learn the right feelings faster.
By using objective data and discreet sensors, Carv 2 turns your normal skiing into learning without getting in the way of your day—so you can break those plateaus and start skiing the way you really want to.
“Carv 2 changes everything,” says Jamie Grant, CEO of Carv. “We’ve listened to our community and developed a solution that offers the flexibility and ease of use skiers have been asking for, combined with an increase in accuracy that makes it our most powerful product to date.”
It’s what Grant calls “your constant companion,” built for every skier, regardless of their gear, skill level, skiing style, snow type, or terrain choice. And now Carv 2 is available with a $249 annual membership; you receive the sensor at no additional cost. Already a Carv member? No problem. The all-terrain software update is available to existing members using both new and previous Carv devices.
Carv is the world leader in digital ski coaching and ski technique analysis. Carv’s mission is to make every day on snow more fun through better performance. Whatever your level, you can always improve and get more from skiing.
