Expert verdict

The Faction Prodigy 1 Skis + Strive 11 GW Bindings are a fantastic choice for anyone looking to up their game on the slopes. What really sets these skis apart is their durability and versatility. The poplar core, reinforced with ash wood, ensures they can handle heavy hits in the park, while the Anti-Chip Micro-Cap construction keeps them looking fresh. The XL 2.5mm edges are thicker than most, providing excellent edge hold. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, these skis offer quick edge-to-edge transitions, making them perfect for both park skiing and groomers. However, if you're solely into powder skiing, you might want to look elsewhere. Overall, these skis are a solid investment for anyone who loves a bit of everything on the mountain.

Surprisingly awesome.
5 /5
This is a new business model for me: personal expert guiding me through an expensive purchase. I was a little worried this was AI or at least someone who wanted me to spend max money. However, Christian was not pushy, sent me a lot of info when I asked questions, and guided me towards the best items in my budget. I’d definitely recommend Curated.

First time I ever used Curated and I got paired with a stand-up guy (Jared), he helped me through the process of picking a new board - I've been hesitant to pull the plug on a new one but he got me a great deal and gave me the best options that fit my needs on the mountain. Total bro, 100% recommend - made my curated experience easy and stress free.

He responded back asap for just about a week with me about multiple skis and made sure that he curated my exact needs and I purchased skis and bindings and he even adjusted a price to match a deal that I made him aware of . Couldn’t be more happy and can’t wait to test the new set out

Every year at Christmas I try to get my daughter a snowboarding starter kit and its always so hard. The people in sotres kinda treat you like tgeyre better than you if youre looling for a reasonable deal. There's never what you actually want available. Nicholas was super helpful. I told him what I needed and he picked out all the perfect gear for my duaghter. Im so glad I woke up this morning, googled snowboarding starter kits, and Curated was tye first thing that came up in my search. Thanks, Nick. You just made my duaghters Christmas. And you found me a reasonable deal without sacrificing quality and and the little things that made this set special for my diaghter.

I had a great experience. Logan took all the guesswork out of this purchase, explained each spec so I could make the best purchase for my level and progression, and even sourced some extra options to make sure I was 100% happy. 10 out of 10! I won’t make a purchase like this any other way in the future.

"Patrick was awesome! I don’t know much about modern snowboards, but he really took the time to help me figure things out. He knew his stuff and made it easy to understand all the options without overwhelming me. Super helpful and friendly—definitely recommend chatting with him if you need some guidance!"
