Do you feel like you're skidding when you turn? Do you find it hard to get that 'locked in' feeling when you carve? It's a classic problem for intermediates and even advanced skiers... and one of the most fundamental movements in our sport.
Luckily, there's a simple solution. Kevin Jordan takes us through 4 drills - tried and tested in his coaching, to improve your pressure control and make those smooth, stylish, efficient turns happen every time.
More often than not we think we're balancing against the outside ski, but we haven't got enough pressure there. That's often why we struggle when the speed increases, or terrain gets tougher.
That's where the Carv sensors can really help - for the first time, any skier can get precise feedback on how much outside ski pressure they have - helping you work out what good technique 'feels like' in just a few turns.
Even for an expert like Kevin, this is valuable information. He's on the PSIA demo team, and skis all over the world. Why would he need to know about pressure using Carv sensors in his boot? Well, because on any given run, the amount of pressure on each ski is changing - different terrain, snow conditions, speed, etc. In the vid he even uncovers how he's not skiing with balanced technique between right and left turns.
So check out Kevin's drills - and if you have Carv, combine them with the outside pressure monitor and you'll improve this fundamental skiing technique in no time.
What is Carv?
Carv is an ultra-thin sensor that fits in any ski boot. It coaches you with an app that analyzes your technique - we've pulled out app screens, shown in the video.

This is the best video I have watched that highlights the outside ski pressure. You actually show us how to get it instead of just telling us to put pressure on it.

The drill with the pole dragging on the snow along the turn is great and moreover it is perfect to stop two mistakes in the transition: new inner shoulder falls down and/or the upper body twists into the turn 👍👍👍

Great video! Today I was hitting the slope after extensive break. My outside ski feeling was not perfect, I could not achieve desired angles nor speed control. My first thought was to bring it to basics aka drills. First I was doing javelin and phantom javelin but the real deal breaker was my favourite drill - touching the outside boot with the outside hand, while inside hand is kept above the shoulder. ❤ This drill really helps me to create both good angulation and to develop trust in my outside leg. If you are really onto your outside leg you can freerly drive the inside leg towards the turn and then magic happens. 😉

Great video, the pole drag i found got me to kink or pinch my hip making 70-80 on Carv for the outside ski pressure where i was about 55 before the drill. But i will say this will be the later part of the turn in my case. I guess i should be aming to get that ski pressure high at mid turn when the skis are pointing down the fall line.

What's the best tip or drill you've used to help get over the outside ski? 👇

@gairnmclennan5876 10 ай бұрын

Richard Amackers Video on the carve app and you tube taught me to turn TO the fall line setting up and then angulate and feel the G force as you swoop with your hip close to the snow into the end of turn and transition. It made me see that like a play ground swing, to have the G force it will increase only if you lean back after the midpoint. Timing!

Dear Carv, I am a member. Why are all these training videos not linked in the app? It'd be nice to be able to watch videos on a specific metric on the chair/gondola without having to find them on youtube.

Great vid. I actually concentrated on increasing my outside ski pressure this year, especially skiing on ungroomed or semi-groomed blue runs and it made a huge difference! It helped tremendously with control and prevented ski separation for me. I found it important to make sure I was forward pushing my shin against the front of the boot on that downhill ski.Any other pointers through this type of terrain?

@CarvSki Жыл бұрын

a really simple one to think about is just lifting the inside ski, surprisingly hard to do as an intermediate or even an advanced skier sometimes!

@swingman50 Жыл бұрын

@@CarvSki wow! So basically taking all the pressure off the inside ski! On non groomers.

@July-A7 Жыл бұрын

On a non groomed terrain it's reverse, your body weight is back not forward. If you are forward, your skis will bury in the snow and you'll somersault. You'll have to judge how much to hold back, of course. Always lift you inside ski and you'll swerve easier.

Does Carv work with special insoles? Like i have an insert in my left boot but not in my right one, and it gives me odd reads on pressure

@oakland439 3 ай бұрын

does anyone else's outside pressure vary a ton between your left and right turns? even when I'm doing storks I'm getting like 30-50 percent on my left turn... and I'm right legged!

@MrStanleysiu125 Жыл бұрын

Have a question. CARV seems to suggest a 100% (or close to 100%) outside ski pressure a best carving. Is that true or just leading the skiers to have more outside ski pressure? I noticed on the leader board of CARV the top IQ skiers all have very little or 0 pressure on the inside ski around apex. Is that what all carver aim to achieve? Thanks

@CarvSki Жыл бұрын

Good question- Carv doesn't reward 100% outside pressure, the scoring as part of Ski:IQ actually flattens out a bit as you get up past 60% - that's because the terrain changes and turn intention can differ. On perfectly groomed snow you can get very high outside pressure at high angulation.

hello, I want to know if it can be used in a indoor skiing?

@CarvSki Жыл бұрын

Hi Leo, yes Carv can be used indoors. It has a feature where it splits your run into segments. It needs 6 turns to generate a Ski:IQ (10 for the leaderboard). Depending on the length the of slope that should be fine! The real time training modes (turn by turn carving training) will work, but you'll need to lap a run twice to level up in general. Hope that helps

You need a foundation to stack every thing on. With no ankle flexion the system give no feedback. People don't know about ankle flesion in skiing they all sit back. unable to make precise weight transfer movements.

this is a great point. Fine control of foot pressure is an extremely hard skill to master - riding the cuff of boot makes it even harder!

@3:32 You are not flexing the ankle, you are closing the hip. Your ankle is hold at its "home base" by your boot. I guess you feel a increased contact between your shin and tounge of your boot, but moving your center of mass forward isn't done by flexing your ankle.

Hello. Love this video I'm a rookie/intermediate. Is it correct to say the only way to grab a "SOLID" edge and "Carve" is to build some speed? As I improve I find it easier to grab an edge and start bending the ski only if I have some speed. Does that sound accurate?
