Nikolas Otte
I grew up in Colorado's front range, so skiing has always been one of my greatest passions. I started skiing intensively in 2012, and have progressively ramped that up as I grow older and found easier ways to access the mountains. Nowadays, I try my best to make it to 100 days a season on snow! When I'm not skiing, I can generally be found in the mountains of Colorado's front range, hiking or mountain biking. I'm also a student at CU Boulder!
My life revolves around skiing, and I'm stoked to share that. I'm here to help you find the gear that works for you and makes skiing a better experience for you. I'm a ski expert, not a sales guy, and I will always have your best interests in mind. Let's work together to get you onto the right gear for you!

Daniel's experience with Nikolas
I have never heard of this company before... I was simply comparison shopping and came across the option to match with an expert and it was the best experience ever! I was about to buy bindings that were not right for me at a steep price, and my expert pointed me in the right direction. Saved me more money on an even nicer ski binding. Love this!

Nikolas was a great help!
Nikolas asked the right questions to figure out what type of skier I wanted to work to become. He suggested gear that would both meet my current needs and aid my skill progression. I appreciated his attention to detail and consideration of my budget.

Snow-one knows better than Nikolas! 👍🏻
Excited to demo some of the great recommendations he’s given me. He asked me great questions about my current ski style and I love that we have ski’d some of the same mountains. Skiing is my passion and having someone who enjoys it just as much and can help with recommendations is so helpful. I am confident he made some fun and fitting recommendations for me. Now to decide which
will be my favorite new ski’s! See you on the mountain!

Nikolas was awesome to work with!
I haven’t bought a new set of skis in 14 years and he was very thorough in helping me choose the style of ski and compatible bindings. I recently just received my new setup and am very happy with my purchase. I will continue to return for his expert opinion and I strongly suggest to work with him for your ski needs.

Nikolas was so kind and helpful!
Nikolas kept working with me and reminding me about the great deal I could get with Black Friday. I really needed that gentle prodding as the holidays are a busy time. Thanks Nikolas and all the best in school! You're awesome!

Very quick and informative exchanges with my Curated expert. Products that I purchased shipped and arrived in a undamaged and timely manor. Very pleased with my experience. I will be shopping with Curated in the future.

Theresa's experience with Nikolas
Nicholas seemed very knowledgable, was polite, personable and helpful. I find ski shopping very intimidating, so I am putting a lot of stock in his recommendation and am excited to see how it turns out.

Nikolas was great!
He helped me identify that my old boot was too wide and suggested a couple options, one of which ended up being the perfect fit!

Nikolas was great!
I have just started skiing and know nothing about what gear to get that would work best for my ski level. He was very helpful with getting me into the appropriate gear. The skis went out of stock while I was in the middle of purchasing them. He amazingly was able to track down the same skis from another source. I was very appreciative!
