CarveCoach — Expert Video Analysis for Skiers & Snowboarders

Process

Three steps to better riding

01

Record

Film 3-5 turns on any slope. Phone is fine. Skiing or snowboarding.

02

Upload & Get Reviewed

Send us your clip. A certified instructor watches every frame and records a personalized video breakdown.

03

Improve on the Hill

Get your analysis with timestamps, annotations, and drills you can use on your next run — whether you're on skis or a board.

What you get

Not an Algorithm. A Real Instructor.

Every review is done by a real, certified instructor — not AI, not automated. Your coach watches your footage multiple times, annotates key moments, and records personalised commentary with specific drills for you to work on.

Personalised video commentary recorded by your coach
Written technique breakdown with key observations
Hand-picked drill recommendations with YouTube links

Side-by-side review

Your coach annotates key moments in your footage

Learn at your own pace

Your mountain. Your schedule.
Your coach.

Traditional lessons are expensive, rushed, and you forget everything by the next run. CarveCoach is different.

Fraction of the cost

A private ski lesson costs $100–200+ per hour — and you forget half of it by the next run. Get expert analysis from $29 that you can rewatch anytime, anywhere.

Practice on your terms

Get your feedback, take it to the mountain, and work on one thing at a time. No pressure, no clock ticking. Film yourself again when you're ready and see how far you've come.

Builds over time

Each review references your previous sessions. Your drills evolve as your technique improves. Your coach builds a picture of your riding over time — something a one-off lesson can never do.

Reviews

Riders who leveled up

"I've done a few seasons but never had anyone properly break down my technique. The video commentary was so detailed — I could actually see what I was doing wrong with my weight distribution. Took the drills to the mountain the next day and felt the difference immediately."

KG

Keavy G.

Intermediate skier · Waterford, Ireland

"I was nervous about being judged but the feedback was really encouraging. My coach pointed out what I was already doing well and gave me two specific things to work on. Way more useful than the group lesson I had on holiday."

PW

Pete W.

Beginner skier · Epsom, UK

"Being in Australia I don't get to ride as much as I'd like, so making the most of every trip matters. Having a coach review my footage and give me drills to practice before my next trip to NZ was exactly what I needed."
