Alex Dolan
My humble roots as a rental technician at a small ski and snowbaord shop in the hollers of North Carolina in combination with my eventual migration west toward bigger mountains and more snow have shaped me into a master at gearing up any customer, no matter their ability level.
I LOVE SNOW! Fortunatley working at ski shops across North America over the past 10 years (in Colorado, North Carolina, Washington, and most recently British Columbia) has provided an education in snowboard sales experience that is rich and deverse.
Thankfully, Curated.com allows me to work from wherever the snow is falling. I think this is what they call "living the dream."
Curated has also published many articles of mine in their "Expert Journal," allowing me to share my passion for the outdoors with a wide audience and a team of professionals who are taking the online retail industry by storm.

Grace's experience with Alex
Alex was very knowledgable, personable and thoughtful when choosing the pieces of snowboard gear I needed to enter my second year. I'm so excited for my purchase and am very appreciative that I had the opportunity to speak to someone like him to consult me on equipment.

Alex is very knowledgeable and helpful with snowboarding. Gave me his time and overall had a great experience. Although I didn’t necessarily choose everything he suggested, I know they are quality suggestions.

overall great experience
Alex lived in my area for awhile and hooked me up with the perfect setup for my style. He knew what conditions to expect and got me a great board that was actually on a small discount. I couldn’t be happier with my curated experience and will definitely refer him to my friends when they’re looking for new stuff.

The Wild World of Snow
Choosing gear in a world of snowboarding can be daunting & I wasn't sure where to go to find help. I'm so thankful for the knowledge & for making me feel like a friend & not a customer. It's really nice to not feel like the simple questions are dumb or that snowboarding is as over my head as I thought. Definitely appreciate this platform & look forward to making my first purchase!

HIGHEST RATING I CAN GIVE, I GIVE.
Alex was just flat out great to deal with. Not overbearing by any means. Super easy to chat with. AT RANDOM times too. Long breaks in-between conversations but he easily picked back up from where we left off. Lots of back and forth. Patience with my lack of knowledge and allowing me to learn new things on the fly. I spent (for me) a good amount of money and I wanted to leave with an experience I felt confident about my purchase. I got that feeling and more with Alex the Snowboard Expert. I would recommend him to anybody who asked.

Great information and helpful!
Great information and helpful! Really knowledgeable, and catered suggestions to how I ride and what my goals were, as opposed to getting something that was the most expensive for the perceived quality. Will definitely work with you again!

Christopher's experience with Alex
My overall experience with Curated was great! Alex helped me find what I needed for a new gear set. I bought all of my gear for a reasonable price and they also do price matching! I'd buy more gear from them again in the future. I wasn't having gear thrown at me and I didn't feel pressured to buy anything either. The gear ranges from more price friendly options to the higher quality stuff. Only thing I was missing was the board wax!
