I can always count on the SIA Tradeshow to be an amazing experience. SIA at Denver keeps products close to the mountain and fun parties with great people. Day four of the show was finishing up booth visits, getting the last catalogs and photos before heading out to the on-snow for the next couple days [...]

Being on the mountain requires a great pair of goggles and the support of a shop to get them to you. Action Sport Optics out of Vermont knows that and offered up a pair of Spy Zeds for a lucky Shayboarder reader. All it took was two likes and a comment to be entered in [...]

After a long night of partying, Day three kicked off with a much needed can of Red Bull, comfortable shoes and something permanent that I’ll never forget. By the time the third day generally hits, you are a bit more tired but it’s well worth the lack of sleep for a whole lotta fun at [...]

At SIA, the days are long but well worth it because of the amount of fun that’s going to happen. Day two started early with a SIA seminar, continued throughout with appointments and ended into the night with the Transworld Riders Poll. It was the longest day of the tradeshow and probably the most fun [...]

Four days of 2013 snowboard gear. That’s what SIA is about in Denver, Colorado. Today it all went down, the opening speeches, the first glimpses at what’s coming out for next year and a whole lotta high fives and hugs on the tradeshow floor. This is my favorite time of year and the busiest since [...]

Hard to believe it’s that time of year but things are about to get crazy in Colorado! For the next 10 days I’ll be on the road, in the tradeshow for four days, on the snow demos for two days and finally relaxing towards the end of the trip. I’ll be attending the SIA Tradeshow [...]

After weeks of planning, organizing and getting ready for a move…it was finally time. Since I can no longer call Mammoth Lakes home, I packed up my truck and hit the open highway to bring my belongings up to Washington. I’m not quite sure where the end of the road is yet but Washington is [...]

When it comes to keeping your feet comfortable on the mountain, footbeds are the most important accessory to your snowboard boots. Sure you put them in your boots all winter and forget about them but they make your winter last longer with better foot protection. Every couple weeks I’ll be throwing a Footbed Friday into [...]

You can always count on Snowcial to bring together creative minds, social skills and skiers/snowboarders to Heavenly Resort. Last year I got my first taste of it and this year, I attended the welcome party and one day of snowboarding to celebrate the fun event. Unfortunately I couldn’t attend the whole weekend of events since [...]
