Volkl, in conjunction with its shift to more “rocker” skis within its line, has again partnered with Gibson Guitars and is again offering up a custom Les Paul guitar. The guitar will be auctioned in April with proceeds benefiting the High Fives Non-Profit Foundation/
Based in the Tahoe, CA
area, High Fives is non-profit organization that helps athletes who have
suffered life-altering injuries return to normal life and more
specifically, to return to the winter action sports community.
The guitar is a Les Paul model that was manufactured at Gibson Custom in Nashville, TN and highlights the graphics of Volkl's popular 'Katana' ski, a popular big mountain model featuring their 'ELP' rocker technology.
“The collaboration with Gibson is a natural for Volkl,” said Director of Promotions Chris Adams. “Skiing and music go hand and hand – and it's a great way to highlight our ELP 'rocker' technology.”
Adams also said Volkl was proud to support High Fives.
The High Fives Non-Profit Foundation will host a silent auction for the guitar in Truckee, CA on April 17, the day after its signature event, 'Trains.” Trains is a unique slope style competition to be held at held April 16 at Alpine Meadows, CA. Details on the auction and specs of the guitar will be available shortly at the Volkl and High Fives websites listed below.
