MERVIN MADE | Over 30 years of history in snowboard manufacturing
Welcome to the world of Mervin Manufacturing! 30 plus years of hands on, environmentally minded, technologically experimental, manufacturing in the USA. Our zero hazardous waste producing gravity toys come in the shape of snowboards, surfboards, skis and skateboards, and we make them right here in Sequim, WA in the USA using eco materials, processes and power.
Our crew, led by founders Mike Olson and Pete Saari, push every aspect of the sports and cultures they love. Creating dream boards for this dream life through new game changing industry disrupting technologies, like groomer conquering sidecuts, intelligent reverse cambered Banana Technology, the ability to turn ice in to powder with Magne-Traction®, and darn difficult to ding EcoIso Construction. All conceived, tested and perfected right outside of Mervin Mfg’s door; the Cascades and Olympics, to the Pacific Ocean a few minutes out the back. Mike and Pete’s original dream was contagious, pulling friends and fellow dreamers in like moths to a flame. Snowboarders, skateboarders, skiers, surfers, artists, dirt bags, punkers, farmers, engineers, and materials wizards, all united under a common bond of creating something worthwhile for the very worthy pursuit of feeling good about the work we do. Dreamers like Jamie Lynn, who only needed the spark and the platform to spring off, before changing snowboarding forever and setting the stage for more authentic doers the world over. The initial spark of passionate hard work in the pursuit of fun has born a community of like minded individuals striving for betterment.
Better boards made by, and for friends. Better manufacturing practices that both protect the health of those board builders, but also that of the planet, leaving zero hazardous waste behind in production. Better bonds to the communities at large that support the business and culture that is our life. Mervin is a dream factory in a dream location producing dream boards with dream materials and process. When you ride one there’s more than just the board under your feet; there’s passion, technology, art, history, community and vision. It’s not simply made, it’s Mervin Made.

The Legend of the March Pow: Why the Best Riding is Yet to Come
Why the Best Riding Is Yet to Come Look out the window.
In the city, the sun already feels different. The asphalt is dry, people are ditching their heavy jackets, and the thought of coffee outdoors is becoming increasingly tempting. Logic (and the calendar) tell you: "Winter is over. It’s time to put the board and skis in the closet." This is exactly the moment when most people make the season’s biggest mistake. Because while the city wakes up to spring, the mountain is keeping its best-kept secret.
The Myth That Is Reality Everyone has heard of the March Pow.
It is like that elusive friend who shows up out of nowhere, makes the party unforgettable, and disappears before sunrise. When the end of February comes and temperatures start to rise, we collectively forget that the rules are different in the mountains. The truth is, the climate has changed. Winter is in no rush to leave. If years ago December was the beginning, today "real winter" has shifted. January lays the foundation, February piles it up, and March? March is the month for connoisseurs.
Anatomy of the Perfect Day
Why does March riding often surpass that of January? Here are the facts that amateurs miss: • The Base is Rock-Solid: The ground is deeply frozen, and the accumulated snow base is solid. Even a small snowfall of 10-15 cm doesn't get lost in rocks and bushes but creates the perfect, soft layer for riding. • You Are a Machine: In December, your legs were still getting used to it. Now, after two or three months of riding, your body is warmed up, and your muscle memory is at its peak. You are stronger, faster, and ready for deep snow more than ever. • The Light: The days are longer. Gone is the worry that it’s already dark at 4:00 PM. You have time.
Storm Chasers March is a month of meteorological twists.
Today you might be riding in a t-shirt and getting a tan on the lift, and tomorrow morning you could wake up in a white fairytale with half a meter of fresh snow. This powder is a mythical creature. It doesn't stick around for weeks like January snow. It comes with force, covers everything in white velvet, and begins to transform under the first strong rays of the sun. This creates a sense of urgency and exclusivity. If you want to catch it, you have to hunt for it. You have to be there when it happens. "The March Pow appears like something out of a dream, stays for a little while, and then evaporates. It is a reward only for those who have the patience not to give up."
Don't Be a Spectator
The season doesn't end on February 28th. It continues as long as your heart wants to ride. Don't let the urban spring fool you. The mountain is alive, breathing, and waiting for you for the final, sweetest dance.
Help us write the end of this story together.
We don't just want to tell you legends – we want to see them through your eyes. Watch the forecast, keep your gear ready, and when the "white gold" falls in March – be there. Share your March moments with us – a photo in the deep snow or a video from the sunny park. Let's show everyone who packed away their gear what they are missing.
Pray for March Pow! See you up there!
