Dov Ashford Fund Raiser Event

Mervin donated some snowboards for the Ashford Family, the event was held at Loup Loup Ski Bowl, WA.


Well today was the day and it was a great success thanks so much to you all at Mervin. We had 25 riders, skiers, snow-boarders, boys, girls, young and old. People had so much fun and felt like the real deal with a couple of banners and snowboards put together for us, people really were impressed.

As well we were able to raise $1500.00 for the Ashford family in memory of their creative and wonderfull son Dov Ashford.

Thanks again Mervin. (the Best Snow Boards on this Planet!)

Wildcard Movies presents Wild Resorts: Winter Park Colorado


Follow the Lib Tech/ Gnu team of Nick Ennen, Pos, Tucker Andrews, Tom Pelley, Andy Bergin Sperry and Forrest Burki around Winter Park Ski Resort in Colorado during the 2011 SIA Demo Days. The crew was out there testing the 2012 Lib Tech Snowboards so you’ll see a bunch of the new snowboard decks in here. It seems like the boards were made alright, since the crew had a fun time on all the features at Winter Park. The terrain is mostly groomers and wide open runs with multiple parks and a huge halfpipe.
