Ski Expert Thomas Harari
  • Thomas Harari

    I've spent the last 11 years here in Bozeman MT, where I came to get a college degree and ski as much as possible - just minutes away from Bridger Bowl, Big Sky, and countless backcountry opportunities. With so many new students needing gear each year, I have become a go-to-guy for help buying that first pair of skis or a specific upgrade.

    ​

    I ski 100+ days each year, and have currently skied at least once per month for the past 94 months within the state of Montana. I ski a good mix of resort and backcountry - but my main goal is always to ski as much powder as possible. I spent a good amount of time in highschool snowboarding and telemarked quite a bit in college.

    ​I currently have 5 skis that I ski, ranging from light touring skis to hard-charging powder skis.

    Better than shopping in a store!
    I have been looking for skis for this upcoming winter, but honestly, i'm a rookie & had some (alot) of questions. I wanted to learn a little about what gear was recommended to me, and why it was selected- not because I didn't trust it- but, because I like to understand the thought process that goes into it! It's just the way I process things. But, Thomas was patient & happily explained everything to me. I also am horribly inconsistent with my response times, and regardless of when I messaged, he always responded in a matter of minutes. I feel like sometimes when I go shopping in person and someone is helping me, I feel pressured to take their recommendation, and like I have to buy something- so using curated was a lot more appealing to me, and I cannot recommend it enough!

    kj's experience with Thomas
    I am thrilled to write a review for Thomas based on my recent experience at curated. Thomas was an absolute pleasure to work with, proving outstanding knowledge and professionalism throughout our interaction. What impressed me most about Thomas was his deep understanding of the products. Despite my numerous questions and being a complete novice, he patiently answered each one, providing clear and thorough explanations that helped me grasp the information. Moreover, Thomas's ability to guide me through a change in perspective was truly remarkable. Initially, I had a different idea of what I wanted, but he took the time to explain a few things and provide additional information that completely shifted my understanding and made total sense to me post our discussion. Thanks to Thomas's assistance, I confidently purchased the Salomon Stance 96, and I am eagerly anticipating using them. His expertise and guidance played a significant role in my decision-making process. Thank you, Thomas, for your outstanding service and dedication to customer satisfaction

    Thomas was great!
    I was purchasing my first ski boot after spending last season renting. I wasn’t sure how to tackle selecting a ski boot, so having a Thomas help narrow down the selection and explain the different features and sizing was extremely helpful!

    Thomas took the stress out of buying skis for the first time for myself. I’ve always done rentals so I had no idea what to look for and he curated a list just for me and met all the points I was asking for. So happy to have found this website.

    Thomas not only knows the technical side of ski manufacturing but is a skier who can appreciate a well built ski that performs as advertised.
    It took me a while to decide on what ski will replace my faithful high performance Rossi S7 ski. Thomas has the knowledge and experience I needed to find an technologically improved version of the wonderful ski Rossignol S7 .
