We had so much fun in Japan last year that we had to come back for another Boxes for Days stop! This year the crew at Iizuna Resort in Nagano rolled out the red carpet and shreds from all over joined Think Thank’ers Jesse Burtner, Sean Genovese, Chris Beresford and Sean Black for a ridiculously fun day involving a lot of boxes!
Thanks to our great sponsors, Lib Tech Snowboards, Arnette Eyewear, Coal Headwear, Gnu Snowboards, Snowboarder Magazine, Garage 902, Iizuna Resort and Advance Marketing for their support, and to Kenji Kato, Kenken and Maki for putting it all together…see you next year!
The summer stop of the Boxes for Days tour touched down at High Cascade Snowboard Camp on Mt Hood for a day of boxes, bananas and Burtner. Thanks to HCSC, Lib Tech, GNU, Coal, Snowboarder Mag, Poler and Snowboy Productions for making it possible.
Mervin Mfg and Snowboy Productions are stoked to bring the Boxes for Days tour to the East Coast…Hello Waterville Valley!
Riders will attempt to slay a ridiculously long box for honor and prizes from Lib Tech, Gnu, Snowboarder Magazine, Eastern Boarder, COAL and Think Thank.
Join past Holy Oly Revival winner and Waterville Valley Terrain Park Guru Luke Mathison to take on their wicked creation…and maybe walk home with the coveted Slippery Banana award!
This event is BEYOND FREE…meaning that not only is there no entry fee, but you also get a free years subscription to Snowboarder Magazine, and the first 50 get a free shirt from our friends at Eastern Boarder…so you’re basically getting paid to enter this event!
Registration from 9AM-10:30AM at the Event Yurt at the bottom of Exhibition Park

Boxes for Days made it’s ceremonial international debut last week at Sanosaka Resort in Hakuba, Japan. Riders from all over came out to try and best the 100’+ box and hang on a sunny day with Think Thank pros Jesse Burtner, Sean Genovese, Austin Hironaka, Ted Borland and Chirs Larson….

This “ridiculously fun event involving a lot of boxes” is free to enter and will happen on Saturday February 5 at Sanosaka Resort in Hakuba from 11am – 3pm.
The event consists of lining up terrain park boxes in a line to create one super-box that is both challenging and very fun!
In addition to top Japanese snowboarders, pro American snowboarders from Think Thank films will be on-hand. Including Lib Tech’s Jesse Burtner and Ted Borland, Dinosaurs Will Die’s Sean Genovese and Chris Larson, and Ride’s Austin Hironaka and Sam Hulbert.
Come out and meet the riders and try to get to the end of the super-box! Great prizes from Lib Tech and Gnu snowboards, Coal Headwear and Garage 902!
After the event join us at UFO Stadium for a great after-party with all the riders!

Mervin Mfg’s Boxes for Days Tour made it’s second stop this past weekend on the sunny slopes of Boreal. Eighty plus Tahoe area shreds took on the ridiculous 240′ up/down/up/flat/down/flat/down/flat/mini-rainbow/down/curve/flat/curve/flat box…also know as the (Lane) Knaack Attack.
Jesse Burtner, Jason Robinson, Maribeth Kramer and Nick Visconti were on-hand to keep everyone stoked and pass out a grip of quality goods from Lib Tech, Gnu, Coal, Snowboarder Mag and Porter’s Tahoe. After three hours of box sliding mayhem, coffin slides and pickle juice shots, Billy Morgan took home the Slippery Banana award and a brand new Gnu Riders Choice snowboard.

Thanks to Jon, Eric, Lane and the rest of the Boreal crew, Nikki Sternin and the Nor-Cal Mervin clan and Kasey from Porter’s for making the day BEYOND rad.
Next stop is Sanosaka Resort in Hakuba Japan on Feb 5…Boxes for Daaaaaaays!
Hundreds of thousands of feet of boxes were slid at the first stop of Mervin Mfg’s Boxes for Days Tour at The Summit at Snoqualmie in Washington. Think Thank’s Jesse Burtner and Snowboy Productions’ Krush Kulesza give you the recap.
