Carv

Motion Metrics Limited

About this app

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.

Ratings and reviews

This worked exactly as described on their website and videos. I used it with a pixel 4a 5g and had no issues during a week at big sky. It is not only a cool coaching tool but its also useful at tracking your skiing from which lift I took and which run I went down. And stats for each run including length, descent, top speed, etc. I enjoyed looking at my stats after a day on the slopes almost as much as I liked the coaching.

Borrowed an iPhone last season to use it, just tried setting it up on my S10 and it didn't show any of the data from last season (not a big loss, but not an encouraging sign). Charged up the units and paird them, went through the calibration, right boot seems fine, left boot despite several calibration attempts shows the boot doing the opposite of the actual motion on the screen. Maybe it will log correctly when I get on the mountain, but I don't think they are calibrating correct.

The application seems pretty solid. Pros: Displays the tracked movement well and intuitively. Voice feedback works well Easy to work with on the lift to look at how a run went. Cons: The connectivity issue needs to be worked out (seems to happen often when you are working with other Bluetooth devices like steaming the voice feedback to earbuds/phones which I think most do). Had to get boot trackers to reconnect while on the slopes. This is a problem and some may return for that reason alone.
