carve = curva condotta
Explanation:
Carve—A clean turn made on the edge of the ski, without skidding. The skier must put pressure and weight on the ski edge, which forms an arc in the snow.

CONDUZIONE - stile di curva particolarmente importante nello sci agonistico moderno.
Consiste nell'eseguire il cambio di direzione esclusivamente con lavoro meccanico delle lamine sotto pressione senza lasciare derapare le code degli sci che è sempre un gesto frenante. Una curva condotta la si riconosce dal segno lasciato nella neve, un segno, provocato dalla lamina interna dello sci esterno alla curva (dove si esercita la maggior pressione), definito, curvilineoe senza soluzione di continuità sino alla fine della curva.
