Carv digital ski coach, does it give you the how or just the what?

In this video we ask does the skiing wearable Carv just give you the what or does it also tell you the how-to improve your skiing?

Watching their Facebook ads that keep popping up we see a skier being told to put more pressure on to his downhill / outside ski. But does the app then tell you how to achieve this outcome? Or does it just give you an indication if you managed to add more pressure to the ski?

In this video, we should you a simple way to start to add more pressure to the outside ski but will Carv do this?

We do not know the answer and are very interested to get feedback from anyone who has used the device. If the answer is no and you are not an accomplished skier that would know what you need to do then we are worried that this will just lead to people doing things wrong and in turn actually learning bad habits that could take a long time to fix with a real-life ski teacher.

We have seen videos of very good skiers saying they find the device helpful for self-coaching but these people are high-level ski coaches. Would the same be said for a not so experienced skier?

Have you tried Carv? We would love to hear more about how it works and your experiences using it. If anyone in the Zell am See - Kaprun area has one I would be very interested to try it some time.
