Two-time Olympic Gold medallist and five-time World Ski Champion Ted Ligety has partnered with Carv to develop a real-time digital training system for a wide range of skiers.
Said Ligety, “It’s my mission to make skiing more accessible and fun. I’ve spent my whole career pushing the limits of what’s possible on skis, and with this partnership, I have put that experience into a program that most skiers can follow. Our goal was to develop a real-time coaching experience that helps a wide range of skiers make the kind of turns they could only dream of.
“I’ve been amazed by the accuracy of the Carv system, but also how the Carv technology helps skiers around the world through digital coaching. What is particularly exciting is that we have been using Carv’s database of 200 million turns to look at how skiers will respond to the training, using specific metrics to measure and teach the perfect turn.”
Carv’s Train with an Olympian program is designed to transform the technique of a wide range of skiers, with personalized coaching from Ligety. The program includes 40 increasingly challenging levels to develop technique, real-time audio coaching, drills and concepts, built by Legity, to master technique and users can copy their turns to data captured from Ligety’s skiing to see how closely they come to his maneuvers.
Carv’s CEO Jamie Grant said, “We are always looking to find the world’s best coaching advice and bring it to our members. We couldn’t be more excited to work with Ted. He’s changed the game as an athlete, and now he’s able to change the game as a coach by combining his ideas with the Carv platform. We are excited to blend the power of Carv’s real-time feedback with Ted’s incredible expertise to create our best training program yet.”
