Revisit how you recalculate past-season Ski-IQ's
Please revisit how past-season ski-IQ’s are recalculated when a new algorithm is released.
To be frank, it’s not close to accurate, and as an instructor, it decreases my trust in Carv as a whole.
According to Carv’s recalculated metrics, the product hasn’t helped me improve much at all - because it increased most past season ski-IQ’s, including in bumps (when I couldn’t ski bumps), but decreased current ski-IQs.
I KNOW that it’s helped me improve a great deal — I’ve leveled up several times as a skier, and I’m instructor so I can both feel and see the drastic and significant changes.
But right now, that’s not visible in the data, which doesn’t make any sense for a data-driven product!
As a tangentially-related note, Ski-IQ’s across disciplines should be comparable, and they are clearly not. That’s a more minor tweak, but still worth visiting, as it’s a common complaint!

Hey Josh, I am sorry you feel this way. If you click on the progress bars in the top right hand corner of your app you should see your progress across seasons which hopefully mitigates this in some way.
