Today was rough after yesterday’s riding and partying but I managed to crawl out of bed, hit up the bagel co for breakfast and get to the mountain for some shred time.  Today was a chill day on the slopes, just cruised with co-workers and then chatted on the sundeck to end out the day. [...]

From the snowboarding to the parties to the premieres to the concert…there was something for everyone in Mammoth on Saturday.  It was the day that proved to me, how rad Mammoth can be.  Of course like any great day, it started with snowboarding.  I celebrated Friday night at Hyde for the Unbound Magazine Launch party [...]

Now that Mammoth is open and I work right on the mountain, it means being able to ride midweek for a ride/lunch break.  Today I headed up alone and just wanted to cruise/lap the groomers to try out the new Rome Agent Rocker for a couple turns.  Huge thanks to Joel/Graham for letting me borrow [...]

Intended Purpose: Meant for colder days on the slopes to keep your face warm and covered up. Appearance: I received the black strip/black reversible neckwarmer.  I mostly use the black stripe side because it’s just a simple design. Best Used for: The clast neckwarmer is best for cold days on the mountain with some windchill. [...]

The day has finally arrived!  I love opening days, it’s when the die-hards come out to play after waiting so long and it’s a great way to start the season being around people stoked on snow as much as you are.  Today was no different except that it was my first time being able to [...]

I moved here almost two months ago and now that winter has finally arrived, it’s time to bring out that waxed up rock board and hit the slopes today!  Mammoth’s been snowmaking to get the base solid for this season but the latest snowfall has definitely helped open more terrain up.  It’ll be great to [...]

It’s no surprise that I love snowboard gear but what I really love is outerwear.  Luckily each year I get to try out more and more brands of outerwear, the first of which is 686 which I’ll be wearing this season.  This rider driven outerwear brand mixes it up with technical collections that range from [...]

Intended Purpose: The Sony Cybershot is a compact digital camera that fits in the pocket easily and offers a variety of features beneficial to snowboarding.  I bought the cybershot to replace my Casio Exilim camera which broke at Mt Hood this summer so since then the cybershot has been my main camera.  It has a [...]

There’s only a couple days left until Mammoth opens for the 10-11 season and just enough time for the snow to arrive. Luckily its begun and now Mammoth is covered in a beautiful white layer! It’s my first season here in Mammoth so I’m really ready for the fun to begin. We’re set to open [...]

For snowboarders having a beanie/touque that fits you is one of the perks to enjoying the mountains and one of my friends north of the border creates designs that do just that.  My friend Kendra who runs Hatt Street was up for making a custom product for one of the shayboarder readers so we ran [...]
