"Go like Merv!" After 77 years of "Going Full Out" Merv Fry on February 27, 2017 took his last earth-bound ski run. On this beautiful sunny day he paused at the top of his favourite run called Exhibition, mentioned something to his Old B's Powder Team (OBPT) ski buddies about it being "glorious" and then blasted down making the famous "whoop, whoop" sound the whole way.
