- Have you always looked at great skiers and wondered ‘how can I ski like that’? Tom Waddington is here with three simple drills that can help any skier move from good to great.
Making the leap from good to great skiing isn't straightforward; it's all about controlling your balance and edging throughout a turn.
Tom teamed up with Carv’s Logistics Lead Ben to help him hone these skills. The key? Focus on your weight as you initiate a turn and build your edging progressively.
Will Ben break through to the next level? Watch the video to check out his progress and grab some of Tom's advice and drills that could help you do the same.
Ben and Tom are using Carv to get accurate feedback on their skiing.
With Carv you know objectively how you’re doing at each turn, and can see exactly where you need to focus to improve in your next run.

WOO!!!
Love it! So good to film this natural progression and use the data from CARV to improve Ben’s skiing! Top work Ben and CARV 💪⛷️
Legend!
its all about the patience you need to have between tipping your skis on their edge, and the moment you start using your knees and shin to push forward into the boot. the hip actually comes last, schifahren ist kniefahren
Patience really is a virtue!
La Tzoumaz!!!
I've watched about10 videos with Tom, wearing 10 different outfits :D
He keeps us guessing
How tall is the ski instructor and how long are the skis? Can you provide this information?
I've learned ski carving on skis that previously had no shape (late 1990's) on rock hard snow in the USA midwest. The conditions in the video would have been a "powder day" in the general location. Regardless, I really never put that much pressure on the inside leg of the turn. The times I have, I get thrown off balance. Like wheels on a car, the inside wheel has to turn tighter than the outside to make a corner. Skis have fixed radius sidecut, the outside edge will make the largest radius while the inside won't follow the same line, requiring some scuffing of the arc. I always saw the two-edge carving awkward because it's too easy to lack appropriate pressure distribution between both legs.
Pressure should definitely be on the outside leg - but you still need to make sure you put that inside ski on edge to get it to go through that tight radius like you say!
I would expect a top level ski instructor to have a ski IQ of 150-160. While Ben is certainly a good skier, there is still an A frame, which is holding him back. Are there examples of different ski IQ´s and the actual skiing to reach this ski IQ in a dema video? What ski IQ does Ted Ligety have then? Must be over 200 :)
Ted’s current Ski:IQ is 168. Only 88 Carv users currently have scores in the 160s.
Ski:IQ uses a normal distribution, and is structured in the same way as the IQ score, with the median value just over 100, based on the average skier in our audience. As you move further from the center of the scale, the skill gaps between the numbers increase, so you'd expect to see a larger skill gap between a Ski:IQ of 165-168 (Ted's current top score), than 141 - 149. We hope that helps, but we have more information on our blog here: getcarv.com/blog/introducing-skiiq-hintertux
@@CarvSki I would suggest flattening out the scores from the normal distribution model to a linear model for the purpose of avoiding confusion and so that one can easily judge differences. As we, humans, have a hard time correctly quantifying differences in outputs based on a normal distribution model, linearizing the latter would make for more meaningful and digestible information. It would also ensure everybody is aware that professional skiers and instructors are in two entirely different leagues.
Which piste in Verbier is this?
@CarvSki Thanks a lot for the clarification. I am looking forward to finding out my own ski IQ 😊
If Ben is on 150 ish and Ted is mid 160s, then there should be a hell of a lot of skiers inbetween, just on observing Bens current technique. If only 88 people are acheiving above 160 then the number in reality between 150 and 160 should be significant.
Therefore, if the medium ski IQ of carv users is only 100, statistically your customer base is mostly lower intermediates vs actual dynamic or semi decent carvers.
What is the name of the tool that measures the ski iq?
Tom and Ben are using Carv to measure their Ski:IQ
Hi Tom do u roll your ankles correctly
I'm going to say this...
Initial thoughts on Bens first couple of turns...forget CARV mate. Go get yourself some good Instruction before too many bad habits get ingrained into your skiing. CARV isn't bad, but CARV comments aren't easily taken in or action actioned by the skier alone without a physical demonstration and direct comparison to what the skier is doing compared to what are skier should be doing to improve. Actually, this is exactly what this video proves. CARV doesn't see what a good Instructor does. ( I'm not a ski Instructor!)
The combo of a good ski instructor PLUS the Carv data is the best combination for improvement, especially if the instructor knows how to interpret the Carv suggestions. Then Carv can be an amazing tool to continue to practice and improve post lesson.
@@garthcoleman7542 Yes, with an Instructor knowledgeable with Carv output - yet another qualification ski instructors would have to pass and be professionally accredited for - but I'm not saying that would be a bad idea!
I don't understand this ski IQ, come on, that can't be a 147! he's still a-framing.
Ben would be the first to admit that he's still working on his A-Frame, but he made some really positive improvements in his skiing over the day, we hope you'd agree
I'm not faulting Ben (I'm sure he is a sweet guy), but I'm trying to understand this scoring mechanism.@@CarvSki

As you move further from the center of the scale, the skill gaps between the numbers increase, so you'd expect to see a larger skill gap between a Ski:IQ of 140 - 150, than 120 - 130.

sure, I'll go through that. I was expecting to find it harder to spot form issues as their "SkiIQ" increases, i.e. subtle errors to fix as you move higher up. 🤷🏻♂@@CarvSki
So it is not how good a skier you are but if you are above or below average. That is why I am frustrated. I gave improved greatly and this is seen in my specific scores but not in my ski IQ. Something wrong there
I'm sorry, there's no way in hell that is an accurate ski IQ. I'm not an expert or advanced skier but I've been using carv for years now and am stuck in the 130s and its much better than this skiing. He's skidding down the slope.
Skiing without pulse is never a good idea😂
Verbier CH is your hometown? but you're English, shouldn't be you from England?
Ok. So this is not it! Carve videos should be renamed park and ride or crazy arms! Lol!
Not learning anything 😅
Sorry to hear that
