    "If you don't do it this year, you will be one year older when you do." - Warren Miller

    I have 41 years of skiing experience and am passionate about the mountains! I spent the first years of my life living on Stevens Pass, and I was skiing by the time I could walk. I have instructed beginner lessons and shown friends how to safely access our back country terrain and love helping everyone have their best day possible on the mountain. I count Stevens Pass, Alpental and Crystal as my home mountains and have skied all over North America.

    During warmer months, I dream about powder days and spend my time kayaking, sailing, backpacking and constantly pushing myself to explore new challenges. Over the last few years I have started mountaineering and camping in alpine conditions like Camp Muir while summiting Mount Rainier. My personal goal this year is to become more proficient touring the back country!

    Excited to learn more about your gear needs and helping you have your best season yet!

    The best!!! Made it so easy
    Going into revamping my entire setup for next season, I had very minimal experience with researching and buying my own equipment. Wesley made it unbelievably easy to feel reassured with my decisions and his expert recommendations, something that's hard to do when making a commitment such as buying ski gear. He was very personable and was very responsive on a Sunday evening. He also was able to get me great deals on all my gear and assured me that I would have the lowest price out there. I'm stoked to try my new setup next season and give backcountry skiing a shot! Thank you Wesley, you were tremendous help!!!

    Travis's experience with Wesley
    As a skier who lives in a ski town, I have plenty of options for purchasing ski gear. However, when it comes to needing a piece that I am very particular about (ski boots in this case) it is great to have a service like curated. I honestly couldn't have had a better buying experience!

    Wesley is my fairy godfather of ski gear. The first time I bought my new ski setup from his curation, they were my FAVORITE skis I've ever skied on. Now I just finished round 2 of working with him and can't wait to get them!

    Wesley was very helpful and patient!
    Wesley was great and helped me with Skis, Bindings and Boots. I was a skier for many years and switched to snowboarding and now switching back to skiing. I am super picky and do a lot of my own research on gear and he was patient, informative and helpful throughout the research and selection process. He answered all my questions, of which I asked tons over a several week period, including very detailed questions about the gear. He helped me compare many different choices. He responded quickly pretty much any time of the day/night. He is highly knowledgeable and more than capable of matching you with the right ski equipment. Thanks Wesley!
