Eric Willmann
I have turned my passion into a career in the snow sports world. 14yrs+ of experience teaching snowboarding. I am a part of the American Association of Snowboard Instructors "AASI." All of the teaching on the slopes has given me the opportunity to ride/experience many types of gear. You can find me out at my local slope, Perfect North Slopes! We traditionally have hard-pack/icy snow which gives me an edge in all conditions. Not only hard-pack snow, but I also get a lot of night riding in. I can't wait to share my experiences with you to help you find the new gear you genuinely love and will help you fall in love with the sport even more.

Beyond amazing
Eric was super fast to respond and helped me find the perfect set up based on my price range, skill, local terrain, and even took into consideration the fact that I work as ski patrol (via snowboard) which we agreed magne traction would be invaluable for. He sent me videos to explain some of his picks and the technology that was present. Stoked for this new set up!

Eric was phenomenal!
Learning a new skill is already intimidating, and when you have to buy gear for yourself and 2 teenagers girls, it adds an extra stress to the process. Eric asked questions about skill level, personality and desire for future snow play and put that into consideration when making his recommendations. He took all the overwhelming stress away. He made me feel safe and seen and now I know that my daughters and I will feel amazing on the mountain! So excited to have our first set of gear!!

Eric was Awesome!
Eric was very responsive, knowledgeable and instilled confidence in our purchase. He was able to explain the differences between the various products to make sure we ended up with the correct sizes. I would definitely recommend Eric to any of my family or friends.

Eric was patient
I came into this unwilling to purchase something new, when I had new unused items sitting in my house unsold. However, through a few weeks, his patience, I committed to new gear for the 2nd time in less than 12 months. I'm confident this will be the right gear for me going forward. Thanks Eric!

Extremely helpful!
Extremely helpful, knowledgeable about snowboarding in the west coast. Understands types of terrains and the type of board suited for the type of riding I like.
I came in with an idea of what I’m looking for. 3 yrs exp snowboarding and only used 2 boards: box knife and Burton. He asked critical questions, looked for multiple offers, videos for me to learn about the products, offered pricing matching and provided details on the process.
I’m recommending this website and Eric to my snowboarding friend group and other people looking to start riding!

The most helpful kind knowledgeable person
Eric was so awesome! Even though he was offline when I originally texted him, he responded within less than a minute! I was super needy asking so many questions even the same questions multiple times but he was so helpful and kind about it. He made me feel confident and excited about my purchase of a snowboard, and we even went off topic and he was super friendly. He knew what he was talking about too! Made me feel very assured. Anytime I am wondering anything about snowboards, Eric is my man. Thank you, Eric, for the best customer service ever.

Five Star Eric!
Eric was really helpful and put my mind at rest about a question I had. Even when he found out I live in the UK so can’t ship to me, he still made some recommendations about the right board for me. Thank you Eric, I really appreciate your time.

Thank you, Eric!
Eric helped me choose a new snowboard and bindings.
The process was so simple and smooth. I told him my experience level and he gave me 4 choices of boards and 3 choices of bindings at various price ranges. All of his picks came with detailed descriptions and all the technical details.
I was working out of the country at the time so I was not always available to focus on this process. Eric would check in to see what I thought of his picks but was never pushy.
I liked that. He was always there when I did have a question and would respond quickly. It was great getting this kind of expert help and shopping at my own pace.
I would highly recommend Eric and Curated.

Excellent
Eric was very responsive and eager to help. It took me a couple weeks to find what I wanted, a new board and bindings, and he was very helpful along the way. He gave me great options and was never pushy. Thanks for you help... I can't wait to ride my new setup!
