I have skied in USA, Sweden, Norway, Austria, France, Germany, South Africa, Switzerland, Italy and Canada, and honestly only a small percentage of people actually know how to carve. The exceptions are mostly the kids/adults that have done racing or the intermediate ski instructors. The truth is that carving technique is just very difficult and more importantly counter intuitive and thus people simply do not learn it on their own as they stop doing ski lessons once they can skid steer, as to many they think this is the same as carving.
