Have you always wanted to try a more difficult run, but worry that your technique isn’t up to scratch? Kimberly Mann is here to show you 3 tips that will help blacks runs feel like blues.

Learning to initiate turns on steeper terrain, keeping your knees soft on bumpy and mougley runs, and understanding turn size and shape are key if you want to become a black, or double black skier.

However, knowing what to do is only half the battle. It’s just as important to get feedback and check that you’re nailing all aspects of your skiing as you up the difficulty.

That’s why Kimberly is using Carv, to get immediate feedback and detailed data about each turn.

With Carv you know objectively how you’re doing at each of these drills, and can see exactly where you need to focus to improve in your next run.
