As many other wearable devices appearing in the market, Carv also promises that the wearable goes beyond monitoring and measuring the movement by providing coaching and guidance step by step via an earphones. It is suitable for amateurs and professional skiers.

According to the company, these advance metrics are possible because there are two elements to this wearable First, is what you attach to the ski boot and second is an insert that you place inside the boot.

Jamie Grant, the founder of Carv has a PhD from Imperial college, London. He along with the team have analysed data from skiers all around the world for the last three years, including current ski cross champion Filip Flisar.
“Carv brings a new perspective to skiing. The pressure sensors allow you to see exactly what’s going on, and along with the mobile app it’s a great combination – it really works!”
Ski Cross World Champion Filip Flisar
