As I slalomed down the mountain, a bing!
sounded in my ear for each good turn I made.
How long could I keep it going?
I was getting more and more excited as I cruised down the hill.
One wrong turn, and a sad sound let me know my streak was over.
But theres a lot more to Carv than that.
Sorry snowboarders: Carv only works for skiers.
Carv costs $249 per year for unlimited use; you get the hardware free with the subscription.
Either way, thats less than the cost of a one-day lift ticket at Vail.
you’re free to purchase it directly fromCarvs online store.
The Carv 2 has been out since the fall of 2024.
Youll also want a pair of thebest sports headphonesif you want to be fed information in real time.
I used a pair of Apple AirPods, but any set will do.
It then plots your results against those with similar experience, and generates target zones based on your performance.
In my weekend, my average score was around 116, classifying me as a Carv Cadet.
Not too shabby for someone who only logs a few days of skiing per year.
Something for me to shoot for.
Similar to Strava and otherworkout apps, it’s possible for you to also compete with other Carv users.
My companion’s fingers quickly froze in the New England winter.
Theres even a training session with Olympic skier Ted Ligety.
Even better, their batteries held up in single-digit temperatures; by comparison, my GoPros battery quickly froze.
