Since December 20th, nine lives have been lost in North America from snowboarding accidents.  At least four of the deaths have been from riding in trees either from colliding with a tree or falling into a tree well.   As beautiful as winter wilderness is to look at and fun to ride in; snow and [...]

The best thing about Steamboat is even if it’s a powder day and you aren’t able to get up in the morning, you can still find some in the afternoon to enjoy.  My friend Erik from Summit County drove up for his first day at Steamboat so I told him where to go on the [...]

I love the days when I get the phone call from a friend saying it’s time to shred together.  Today was that day, got the call from Philip and twenty minutes later we were hitting the slopes for my ride break. Steamboat received a couple new inches which meant there was some good powder in [...]

It’s been a rough end of the week, so I took the last couple days to relax and chill.  Today I did make it up to the mountain to take some laps with Steph and Tj who had driven up from Summit County to ride for the day. I took them to my favorite chair, [...]

We enjoyed a late start to another sunny day in Utah, by the time we got up it was warm and soft snow on the mountain.  We’ve been staying at Stephanie’s place which is right near Canyons so a quick walk to the gondola to head up the mountain. Here’s our mini video from today’s [...]

Yesterday I was working on the new shayboarder.com so today I definitely needed to get out on the mountain.  It was a girls day, just Stacia and I hit up the mountain.  I put everything on video using the vholdr cam (which I’ll be reviewing soon) and one clip with my digital camera.   Steamboat [...]

Yesterday I watched it snow all day in Steamboat as I caught up on work.  Today I knew I’d be able to ride the morning by doing a late start at work.  In the last 24 hours it had snowed 16+ inches, reports said 16 inches…I heard 27 inches by the end of the day. [...]

When you least expect it, it’ll be a powder day.  Last night I watched two friends DJ in town, left the bar at 1am where there was no new snow on the ground.  When I woke up at 7am, I found that the good light fluffy snow had fallen on the ground.   I rocked [...]

It was a snowy Christmas so the day after offered up some fresh snow and not that many people on the slopes.   Here’s the video from riding, it was a really fun day until the end.  This was taken with the vholdr cam, still working on the angle when riding but at least it’s [...]

Made a mini-video for Saturday’s riding.  I thought I had charged the battery for the helmet cam but found out on the mountain that it was turned on accidentally and dead, so I resorted to my mini camera to film what I could.   One part my friends found hilarious and I didn’t think I [...]
