    • Carving is where you put the board on its edge and have the side cut of the board pull you across the slope in a smooth turn. Now good carving is where you leave a pencil thin line in the snow. That's an indication that the board hasn't been skidding at all. So let's start off real simply at the pedestrian end of the spectrum like I said. I'm here on the side of the piece and what I'm going to do is pick up a little bit of speed, rock onto my heel edge and try and make a nice smooth arc all the way across to the other side of the slope. To do this, ingredient one is speed. A little bit of speed helps with carving.
