Meanings

1. A discipline focused on executing deep, continuous, high-speed turns where the rider's body leans almost completely parallel to the snow.
   • Extreme wide-track position (skis very far apart) doing long-radius parallel turn causes extreme carving. 1980, Berry, I. William, Kids on skis, a guide to family skiing and children's equipment, instruction, and clothing, page 219:
   • So what happens when you return your extreme carving skis to their rightful owners, and revert to “normal" skis? You go straight back to the "old" rules. 1997, Unattributed, “Give Way to Gracity”, in Financial Times, page XX:
   • The movements that produce carving are the same as those for all around solid skiing. Carving movements give you the versatility to ski on all snow, on all terrain. Now, refine and combine movements to produce the skiing you desire, whether it be extreme carving, bumps, powder, crud, all-mountain or “off-piste.” 2001, Harald R. Harb, Anyone can be an expert skier, page 108:
