The iconic Bonafide, long-praised for its masterful combination of technical performance and all-mountain versatility, is made to attack the mountain with grace and precision. From crushing through crud, to laying it down on hard pack, to navigating your way through untouched pow in the trees, they’re the ultimate all-conditions daily driver for committed skiers. The TrueBlend Woodcore specifically targets the flex throughout the ski, with a softer tip and tail that keeps you nimble. Denser wood underfoot acts like a gas pedal, giving you the power and drive when you want to charge. Combined with a versatile sidecut and a reduced rocker profile, the Bonafide is the perfect blend of Austrian engineering and real-world testing that’ll keep you skiing confidently, even on those less-than-perfect days.

The Bonafide 97 is a ski that doesn't make any excuses about what it is - a strong weapon for attacking the mountain. The Bonafide is best suited for advanced and expert skiers who want a tool that is stiff, demanding, and uncompromising of mistakes (a rather unique offering in today's world of rocker everything). The Bonafide provides a platform... Read more

5 /5
I was skeptical of the idea at first but Sarah's choices for me were boards that I would have picked off of the shelf for myself. She provided all the info I asked for but didn't push in any particular direction or push to make a sale quickly. Over the last decade the shops in my area have stopped carrying a lot of variety opting for one brand of board in many styles leaving me with no choice but to turn to the internet. Having an expert narrow the thousands of options down to just a few made the experience one that I will highly recommend in the future. First snow should be falling in a few days. I couldn't be more stoked.

Eric was awesome!
5 /5
Eric screen recorded himself talking through 4 pairs of skis he picked out for me and described why each would have been a good fit for my needs. I appreciated the breakdown of the varying stability, lightness, and durability of each of the skis as well as how mindful he was to keep me within budget. He was able to find me a couple 40% sales on 2024 skis that I might not have found myself. Thanks Eric!

Jared’s the man
5 /5
Jared was amazing with helping me find a good board at a good price. He sent me handfuls of boards to check out. I ended up looking at different ones and he told me all about them and why they were not the best for my needs. He ended up finding me one I really liked at a great price. Jared was super helpful and I would’ve been lost trying to find the right board without him. He doesn’t just try to get you to buy an expensive board, he is a enthusiast and wants to help you get the right board or other equipment you’re needing.

Loved the experience with Sarah. Was look for my first board, bindings, and pair of boots and as soon as she knew what I was looking for she went to work. She gave me plenty of options and explained in detail why she would choose each one and why they would work for my applications. Highly recommend her!

I don't know much when it comes to snowboard gear and I was really hesitant to to pick out a few specific boards to try and decide between, but josh gave me a Hollar and was able to help me not only give me boards to decide between, but gave me recommendations between all the gear I will need. Josh is absolutely fantastic and deserves a raise.

Been looking to get some skis for a long time and I was hesitant to pull the trigger. Eventually, my new company offered me a wellness credit that included fitness and ski reimbursement. I came back to Curated and Jonathan updated my curation for me. Great experience as he was super knowledgeable and friendly.
