Is this ski right for you? Ask an expert.

The biggest descents ask a lot from your equipment. You’ll need tenacious edge hold and dependable stability for billy goating through no-fall zones while maintaining enough float to surf high-speed turns through creamy pow and perfect corn. The Locator 96 covers all these bases, which is no small feat. The 96 mm waist quickly gets up on edge and bites hard on even the iciest sidehills, all at a weight that’s low enough for the biggest objectives on your tick list. The progressive shape and blended rocker lines make the 96 a versatile, confident performer in a variety of conditions, from meadow skipping in hero snow to traversing refrozen sastrugi in the high peaks.

I need for Bobby to ALWAYS help me
5 /5
Bobby was amazing! He was always available, I was going back and forth and he was encouraging me, informing me, and was an all around amazing person. He has been one of my favorite experiences and honestly if it weren’t for him I probably wouldn’t have made this purchase.

5 /5
the site is asking me for another review, I said 'LETS DO IT' Where to start? Brent really held my hand through the whole experience. Curated some dope pieces for me and answered loads of questions for my primitive understanding of ski physics and geometry. Brent had options, follow-ups and sweet choices for me to get shredding on the slopes. THANKS BRENT!

Second purchase from Curated using Gary. He has been super informative and helpful. Outfitted me a couple of years ago and today helped me with both of my sons who are completely different skiers. He is quick to respond and answered my many questions. Excited to get their new skis and give them a ride over spring break!!

Amazing service from Kyle!
5 /5
Kyle was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in helping me choose the perfect package for me (Roxy Dawn + Union Rosa + ThirtyTwo STW Double BOA). He took the time to explain the differences between boards, bindings, and boots, making sure I got the perfect setup for my skill level. His expertise and friendly attitude made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend Kyle for anyone needing snowboard gear advice—thanks again! ⛷️🏂😊

He really was there for me with my hundreds of questions with kindness and joy (with no judgement). I felt like he was really looking out for me and whats best for me and not just trying to make a sale.

So stoked, I was paired with Casey
5 /5
Thank you Casey🤙🏼 much love and I appreciate your time and expertise. Casey was knowledgeable, supportive, listened to my worries and needs. Casey Worked with me on multiple options for my new equipment. Casey was very responsive, checked in with me to make sure this was the right purchase for me. Casey also let me know that the board I was debating on purchasing had a low stock left. I did finally purchased my new board. I held off on buying bindings. I only did that because, what I wanted was out of stock. Casey, The mountains are calling, and I must go."

Katie was very persistent in finding what worked best for me!
5 /5
She never gave up and kept me updated on deals that would better work with my budget yet still provide me the support and structure in a board that I needed for my plans in pursuing this sport! I really appreciated her help even though I wasn’t very responsive and that just goes to show her determination. Honestly a gem!

I know nothing about skis and this was so easy!
5 /5
I've been skiing for about 6 years now but have spent all that time learning how now to bust my butt, and not about the actual gear. I knew I was ready to upgrade the second-hand beginner skis I bought 7 years ago but had no idea where to start. Ben did all the leg work for me, gave me easy to understand feedback about his choices, and then answered all of my questions. 12/10 would recommend!

As a first-time buyer of any snowboarding equipment, I had no idea what I was looking for. With his personalized informative video, he explained why he suggested me certain items, explained specs, and overall taught me a lot in a short amount of time. Everything was 'curated' for me. Amazing job Billy!
