Lib Tech Heli Trip

In early March I was at my desk finishing orders for next winters snowboard gear when I got a phone call from the sales manager at Mervin (the parent company of Lib Tech and Gnu) – he asked what I was doing the coming weekend? I replied – finishing my orders and planning for the 26th Annual Snowboard Cup. He asked if I could get to Revelstoke on Friday evening? (4 days away) I asked why? He said if I could get there – he would give me 3 free days of Heli with Eagle Pass Heli. I yelled “heck ya!”.
This is the same Heli operation that Travis Rice has used several times to film – and I guess they had a few left over dyas they had to use up.
I scheduled some more staff and headed to Revy.

I guess selling a brand for almost 30 years allows some perks!

If you want a great Heli Experience – try Eagle Pass in Revelstoke.
If you want a great board – try Lib Tech and Gnu!

A huge THANK YOU to Mervin for the trip – it was 3 of the best days of riding i have ever had – and that’s a lot since I started in 1979.

I’ll let the photos speak from here.

Yup - stickers on the heli!

Got to ride a 2014 Lib Tech Birdman for the 3 days - a Killer Powder board!

Even with a heli - sometimes you have to hike for the really good stuff.

Eagle Pass runs A-Star heli's - so it is Pilot / Guide and only 4 riders.  This allows you to go places you normally wouldn't.
