I was trying cork 5 today and yes i have looked at other threads drop your sholder and look at your heels but do you need to carve to do it. Does it make it easier.

Carving makes it easier to go more cork, soon. Carving is recommended but not required.

no, it definately isnt required, you just have to drop your shoulder a little harder, but a cork 7 is way easier if you are just learning cork

Carving will make it easier to grab forward on your skis, like nose, high mute, or even truck. You can do cork 5's without carving, but you probably will land backseat more and not be able to reach the upper part of your skis. Cork 5 tails you don't really carve for.

for a bio i dont' think it's necessary at all to carve in, you'd only be harder to set the rotation

sometimes i opposite carve bios... or don't carve them at all. but i never carve the same way as the spin on a bio. that would be silly.
