Yes but do they tell you what a great ski you are? Kind of like the AI episode of South Park. Seens my offer isn’t as altruistic as I thought. Carv has a whole buddy pass reward system.

Also, they are constantly updating their algorithms and metrics The amount of data they generate and analyze is mind boggling. if you download the app and create an account I think you get a free trial period. Should be easy to switch my sensors to your boots. They just clip on the straps. So this is an open invitation to anyone that wants to try it I’m usually at Blue at rope drop weekdays.

Ive had Carv for about a season and a half. I like them a lot, the new exterior sensors don’t mess up your boot fit. I switch between turn by turn feedback, and then chairlift feedback when I want to listen to my tunes. Better in good conditions than crud, but give pretty consistent results. I think I score pretty good on well groomed greens, but my blues and black scores are coming up too. I do pretty good on parallel skis and turn shape metrics, still working on early edging and building pressure through out the turn. Since I ski alone most of the time, it keeps me engaged. Don’t pay as much attention to it when skiing with family..

Fall whitewater releases just canceled for the Lehigh due to the drought. 😒

Did a day trip from Sacramento. Nice area, more of a local ski area feel here, with some nice runs and good snow. Stayed on the front side. Took a run from the top with the grandkids on greens and then a bunch on the learner hill. Pretty heavy snow but not mashed. Pretty good base still. The fire came really close to the lodge

My wife’s famous chili in the camper for us. Heading to Sierra Tahoe on Saturday. 3 foot of snow on top this week.

The beginner hill is right next to it. Our truck is a dually, so it is noticeably more stable in wind than a single rear wheel.

Definitely a skiing style worth emulating, recognizable far enough up the hill to get the camera out.

Hit on a dry fly definitely counts.

What were they hitting on?

Spent a bluebird day yesterday, skiing with the kids in the morning and grandkids in the afternoon. Not quite frozen cord in the morning up top, mashed potatoes lower down in the afternoon. No bowls, but a lot of ponderosa pines. Well maintained, good logistics, kind of an upscale type of place, a Sierra’s Park City with a hotel lower mid mountain. Shuttle from the parking lots worked well, light lift lines and slopes not crowded up top. Cross country trip went well, except they closed 80 in Wyoming for us when we hit Green River due to extreme blow over risk for campers. So we detoured down 191 past Flaming gorge to Rt 40 and over to SLC. Big storm coming in to Truckee tonight so we are making discretion the better part of valor and heading out this afternoon. Don’t want to have to put the chains on this beast.

Got some base burn out there today.

Been working on early edging the past couple of weeks, need to trust my skis more to crank up the edge angle. My top speed on that run was 43, so I wasn’t trying anything too extreme.
