Merlin Libicky

Merlin brings pure Arlberg energy to every powder day—simple, upbeat, and built around one goal: get out early and go shred. Based in Innsbruck with Arlberg on his doorstep, he’s all about fresh snow, open bowls, and playful features where you can let the skis run and keep the mood light. Merlin doesn’t overcomplicate the recipe: an early start, a good crew, and a pocket snack that always hits at the right time.

He’s the type who keeps momentum high from the first steps, humming along to whatever track is stuck in his head, and saving the real treat for the breaks—Manner Wafferl, and yes, the occasional “Japanese candy” stash for extra morale. With Merlin, it’s all about making winter feel fun and immediate: show up, chase the powder, and lean into the best parts of the day.
