CARV at Fernie Alpine Resort

The next big technological advancement in skiing is here at Fernie

Stop guessing — start improving. CARV combines real-time digital feedback with expert on-snow coaching from Fernie’s CARV-trained pros. Using pressure sensors and motion analytics, CARV delivers clear, measurable insights into your skiing, turn by turn — while your coach helps you understand exactly what to change to ski better, faster.

Whether you want to refine carving, build confidence in variable snow, or push your Ski IQ higher, CARV adds clarity and focus to your development — like an on-snow performance lab, tailored to your goals.

How CARV works

CARV pairs a sensor insole system with the CARV app to track key performance metrics while you ski. Your coach uses this data alongside observation (and video when available) to:

  • Identify what’s happening in your turns (not just what it feels like)

  • Set clear, achievable goals for each run

  • Provide drills and cues directly tied to your metrics

  • Track progress in real time so you can build consistency faster

Going beyond carving

While CARV is often associated with carving technique, its real value goes far beyond groomed runs. At Fernie, CARV is used as a powerful all-mountain coaching tool, helping skiers build the skills, awareness, and confidence needed for variable snow, steeps, bumps, and off-piste terrain.

By breaking down how you manage pressure, balance, and movement through every turn, CARV gives skiers a clearer understanding of how they ski, not just where. That insight translates directly to stronger fundamentals, better decision-making, and more consistency across the entire mountain.

For Fernie’s terrain, this matters. CARV helps skiers develop the control and efficiency required to ski confidently in real mountain conditions — from groomers and bowls to trees and ungroomed snow. The result is not just better carving, but a more adaptable, capable, and well-rounded skier.

CARV 2-DAY CAMPS

Goal-driven coaching powered by real-time performance data

Led by Peter Stewart, a Level 4 ski and snowboard instructor, these two-day CARV performance camps are built for skiers who want clear direction, measurable progress, and lasting results. Known for his structured, goal-driven coaching style, Peter blends expert instruction with innovative tools, such as the CARV system, to help skiers understand their performance, track improvement, and break through technical plateaus.

Each camp is designed around specific performance benchmarks, with personalised feedback, targeted drills, and data-driven insights that translate directly to stronger, more confident skiing.

CAMPS OFFERED

Free CARV Meet-Up Day

Join us for a relaxed, open-invite day designed to introduce skiers to CARV and connect current users for a fun, guided all-mountain experience. This free meet-up is the perfect way to explore the technology in an easy, approachable environment.

Guests can:

  • Rent a CARV from Winter Sports School or borrow a unit from Peter’s personal fleet if needed.

  • Ski alongside other CARV users if you already own the system, enjoying a social, lightly guided mountain tour.

The goal of the meet-up is to offer a friendly taste of what CARV can do—without the structure of formal instruction. Peter will share small insights and demonstrations to show how CARV helps skiers improve, giving you a sense of what to expect from a full CARV lesson or Performance Academy camp.
