Improve Pressure and Balance | Escape the intermediate plateau

Are you looking to take your parallel skiing up a level. Kim Mann, PSIA instructor shows us how to start your carving journey by focussing on gradual pressure change and getting your balance point just right. These exercises will give you the platform to start arcing your ski on gentle terrain.

If you're on Carv, we've aimed this video at skiers who are hitting 100-115 Ski:IQ scores. We shared our data from this type of skier with Kim and asked her how she'd get you to the next level (115+).

More often than not we think we're balanced and over the outside ski. But what should that really feel like? Kim helps us with 3 drills that can be done with or without Carv.

If you have Carv, try doing these exercises on a moderate slope, and then watching your balance metrics, pressure, and pressure smoothness to see the effect.

So check out Kim's drills - and if you have Carv, combine them with the outside pressure monitor and you'll improve your parallel turns in no time.

What is Carv?
Carv is an ultra-thin sensor that fits in any ski boot. It coaches you with an app that analyzes your technique - we've pulled out app screens, shown in the video.
