Ski Expert Riley Weathers
  • Riley Weathers

    I have been a life long skiing fanatic and worked in the winter sports industry for 20 years. I started as a ski and snowboard instructor and later started working in ski shops. When I first started on the retail side of things I started as a back room tech, moved on to retail sales, became a Master Boot fitter, and managed ski shops. I obtained a certificate in the Dark Arts of Boot fitting from Master Fit University upon completion of their 60+ hours of course work and have 10+ years of boot fitting experience with continued education. I have worked directly with many winter sports brands and have built a great wealth of knowledge with the all different types of gear that are available, from skis, boots, bindings and accessories. I have been fortunate to learn all aspects of gear from many different points of view, from on hill performance, backroom teching and out of the box performance. I'm always down to talk gear so if you have any questions I'm your guy!

    Riley helped me choose my first pair of powder skis and bindings. I had a couple of ideas and read a couple of articles on powder skiing but Riley narrowed it down for me and helped with the final pick. He then also helped me choose bindings. Thank you Riley!!!

    Riley is amazing!
    Riley was the best! He was super knowledgable about all the skis I was thinking about purchasing. He provided very detailed comparisons about each, allowing me to narrow down to the kind of ski that I was looking for. Will definitely be coming back here again for future ski purchases!

    Riley was great! He ran me thru a few boot options for my foot size and shape and really went into detail on the models he chose for my size and skill level. Great experience.

    Riley was a godsend!
    I was so overwhelmed looking to set up my whole family (husband, me, 5 and 3 year old girls). He was exceedingly patient with my 374748 questions and gave us really amazing advice. He also was somehow responding pretty much all day and even made personalized videos helping explain why he was recommending what he was. I felt so much more confident making our purchases. THANK YOU!!!!

    My ski expert Riley was very knowledgeable and helpful in assisting me with figuring out which skis and bindings to buy. I appreciated that consideration was taken for my level of skiing as well as the budget I had for buying new equipment. So many large sports retailers just want to sell you their excess stock or most expensive ski. Overall very pleased with my first experience buying from Curated.
