Incredible

5 /5

Kat was incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to learn everything about my current setup, my current skills, and my future goals to make sure she checked all of my boxes. As a woman, able to work one on one with a woman in the sport definitely made the whole process more personable, approachable, relatable, and overall a super awesome experience!

Best service I’ve ever had online

5 /5

At first I thought Darren was just a robot but after some light conversation and even a detailed video explaining the picks he made for me I was thoroughly impressed by the service. If I’m ever shopping for more equipment I’ll be using curated and hopefully Darren again.

Nick was Awesome!

5 /5

I was skeptical at first about buying my first ski setup from Curated But having Nick as my expert to help was such a great experience that I felt confident and good about purchasing from this site and the recommendations he gave to me based on our conversation. He was very helpful and friendly and helped me to stay within my budget while findings products for me that were tailored to my experience level and needs as a beginner skier. Nick was awesome and I definitely would work with him again in the future!
