WIRED Advice tailored to your skill level. Impressive data. Bite-sized training tips anyone can understand. TIRED Fiddly installation. Yearly subscription for a winter-only sport is hard to swallow (but it's cheaper than human lessons).

Setting the app to Free Ski , WIRED users completed a steady blue run and, as we sat on the chairlift—the app knows when you’re on the lift—we were given our Ski:IQ number and a training tip to try on the next run. These pearls of wisdom varied, from getting us to lean forward more to maintaining even balance between edges, working on edge symmetry, rotation, and a host of other variables. If you’ve ever had ski lessons you’ll know precisely the sort of thing to expect.

The app doesn’t try to overload you with advice, instead concentrating on one specific thing , and it handily gives you a shortened reminder of what to practice just as you start skiing again, in case you have forgotten the advice metered out on the lift. Once you get to the next lift, you'll get an updated IQ score and another training tip. And on it goes.

If you’re the type of person who thrives on competition and lives for the dopamine hit an improved score can provide, you’re going to love Carv. Pushing to improve our Ski:IQ quickly became addictive, while the coaching advice genuinely helped us understand what makes a better, more sweeping carve. It’s worth noting that the technology won’t teach a total novice to ski, and it works best if you can already make basic parallel turns. The app is currently optimized for the most popular blue and red groomed trails, rather than black-rated and powder, although Carv is hoping to introduce an off-piste mode for the 2022-2023 season.

There is also a wide range of training modes, designed to improve specific aspects of your skiing, including some surprisingly entertaining challenges that essentially gamify your technique progression, plus modes that measure your ski edge angle, symmetry, and rhythm, to name a few. We defy anyone not to be spurred on by the “ping” that signifies a good carve.
