Thomas Harari
I've spent the last 10 years working with college students (or being one) at Montana State University in Bozeman Montana - 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 84 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.
Previous to working at Curated, I spent 6 years buying and selling skis on Craigslist and I have skied many of them to see what they are like. I currently have 5 skis that I ski, ranging from light touring skis to hard-charging powder skis.

Robert-Oliver's experience with Thomas
Thomas Harari was awesome! He was a pleasure to work with and asked all the right questions to find me the exact ski that I needed! He was able to answer any and all questions I had about his recommendations as well as all the questions about my current, 12 year old skis. He really gave me the confidence that I was purchasing the right ski and binding for my skiing style and preferences. I have never purchased new skis before, so I was a bit overwhelmed with the amount of choices I had. With yalls help I was able to make the right decision, and at a great price as well! Thanks again!

Thomas kept us very well informed on the characteristics of the perfect skis for me. He really listened to what i was looking for and cared about what I wanted. I will always come back to Thomas when I am staring down the laundry list of options out there to get me on the mountain!

Ali G's experience with Thomas
Thomas was very knowledgeable and helped me pick the perfect pair. I'd been searching skis but not commiting to ordering them for the past few months bc I just didn't know if they were the right set for me. Just a few minutes of chatting with Thomas about what I was looking for, I felt confident in the ski's I ended up ordering. I would recommend this site to any of my mountain peeps.

Thomas was incredibly helpful and professional
I worked with Thomas in helping to identify a new pair of new all mountain skis. He selected two skis and I wanted to demo them prior to purchase. By the time I got to Tahoe to demo both skis most of the ski shops were having sales. I worked with Thomas in hopes he could price match, but he was not able to match the killer deal of 50% off. I felt terrible about this whole turn of events, as he had patiently worked with me for quite some time. Throughout the whole process he remained incredibly professional. I am hopeful next season I can work with him again to purchase additional gear. I could not recommend him more highly!!!

Fast to respond, but not too pushy.
Thomas was easy to work with. Always quick to respond, but not too pushy on the sales side of things. Got some great recommendations and he gave me the time to mull it over without harassing me. His ski picks were spot on with what my friend in the industry recommended, so there you go.

The best shopping experience I’ve had
Right from the get-go Thomas knew exactly what I was looking for. Being in the east coast it’s always been hard to find that “perfect ski”, one that is amazing in the park, can handle ice well, and can shred pow (a very rare occasion over here). But after a quick convo with Thomas he knew exactly how to set me up. Clearly knows his stuff and the skis did not disappoint whatsoever. I was skeptical at first as to how much I could trust that these skis would live up to my expectations, but, they did not disappoint. By far the most fun skis I have ever used, they work phenomenally everywhere and I couldn’t be happier with my experience both with curated and Thomas.

Knowledgeable Advice Tailored to My Level!
Thomas did an amazing job asking lots of questions about how I ski, where I ski, what I'm hoping to get out of new skis, etc. I felt really confident to go demo some skis he recommended, and have since ordered them and am so excited to continue to improve on them!

Thomas was great
Thomas spent the time to understand how I like to ski and what I am trying to accomplish. His guidance and selection was spot on. I demoed other skis that weee recommended by the ski shops but no one recommended the ones Thomas recommended and they were superior in performance and matched my skiing style and goals perfectly. Without Thomas I would have purchased different skis that were good but not great. I look forward to many seasons with skis matched to me.

Thomas was great! I wasn’t sure if I wanted to proceed with the website once I learned I would be talking to someone because I didn’t want to feel pressured but I felt like I got helpful recommendations and even easy price matching!

Excellent treat and conversation with my assigned expert.
I did not know much of the specifics and technical info of my need/purchase and he guided me very well to find exactly what I was looking for and at a reasonable price.
Thank you!
