Tyler the G.O.A.T
5 /5
I said I wanted a setup on a budget, I'm in collage and work full time so It's not like I am going to be on the mountain every week. Tired of renting gear. Tyler didn't try to upsell me, at least it didn't feel like it. The board I came to him with he mentioned my toe would be over the edge of the board because it was narrow, thankfully he caught that, but he gave me some other options that were around the same price (actually cheaper) and would work with my boot size!

5 /5
Ethan was extremely helpful and made shopping for skis easy. I wasn’t quite sure what skis I needed, but after a quick survey, he had the best options for me. He even made a quick video explaining each ski and why it would be the best for me. I always feel like salesman always try and sell you the most expensive products and don’t necessarily listen to you, but that is not the case at all! He found exactly what I needed in my price range! Highly recommend.

Taylor is THE best!
5 /5
Taylor remained with me throughout the entire shopping process. I first started chatting with her last year when I became more interested in snowboarding and was in the gathering information stage. She was more than helpful and recommended certain products that aligned with my ride style as well as experience. She was quick to respond and had great insight of every product that she recommended to me. Simply put, I probably wouldn't have purchased the products I did without her guidance. I can't wait to use my new products out on the slopes. Thank you, Taylor!!!

I can tell he is very good at what he do. Very knowledgeable which made online shopping easier than going to a regular shop. Very informative as well. Glad to have found curated and to have been assisted by Kyle. I am very excited to ride my new board this season. Just on time for Christmas. Hope it comes with a ribbon. 😄

5 /5
I had the best experience with Sarah! She helped me put together my entire new snowboard kit. I told her all of my preferences and she gave me recommendations that would best suit my wants and needs. All of her recommendations were helpful! She helped me with sizing, shared guides and videos to help find my perfect measurements. She is also awesome to talk to! She's positive and personable - we even talked about our dogs :) .... 10/10!

5 /5
When I first found Curated and entered my details and was contacted by a sales rep, I was hesitant as I didn't want to have to deal with some pushy sales person. Well, my experience the complete opposite to any typical engagement with a sales person. Sarah was never pushy, always accommodating, happy to answer any questions and just generally a great person to speak with. I would highly recommend her to any snowboarder looking for new gear or even just great advice.

He was great at answering all of my questions and even checked back in with me as I was trying to figure out the best deal for me at my price point. I appreciated that he was very open to explaining all the best options and found me some great deals - never once did he push for the newsest most expensive option, he made it so I understood the price point and the pros and cons for every item.
