I haven’t closed the door on the 09-10 winter yet since I’m hoping to make a trip down to Timberline for another day on the slopes but in just a couple of weeks the 10-11 winter will be arriving for snowboarders.  Colorado is getting ready with snowmaking that will allow for them to hopefully have [...]

Three years ago I sat down in front of my computer and began this snowboard blog that eventually would grow to become something recognizable.  It began as a way to express myself and share a passion for snowboarding with the world but I never expected that it would reach over 1.7 million visitors and lead to [...]

Today’s my birthday and I am now 27 years old!

I don’t believe I’ve ever snowboarded on my birthday but today I’ll be heading up to Timberline with Windells Camp to get my shred on and celebrate being another year older!  Stoked to spend today with new friends doing something I’m so passionate about!

I grew up in the pacific northwest so no matter where I move around the country, home is always Seattle, Washington.  So I’ll be heading to Seattle this weekend to spend time with family, visit friends and for shredding.
I’ll be visiting a couple snowboard companies while in Seattle, borrowing board/bindings from C3 (thank you Johan) [...]

The moment has finally arrived and I’ll be making my way down to the SIA Snow Show in Denver, Colorado.  Even though it begins tomorrow at 9am, I’m happy to head down early today to check into my hotel room and get the fun started the right way.  What you’ll see is 6 whirlwind days [...]

I know winter has arrived when the sounds outside my house are filled with the snow plow doing the morning drive-by and the quietness of a town covered in snow.  It means waking up a bit earlier, dressing warmer and getting to enjoy shred time on the mountain which is why I live in a [...]

I’ve been distracted the last couple weeks with daily life and traveling for the blog that I completely missed passing 1 million total visitors since I started this blog. Each day this blog gives me an outlet to express myself and a way to do something more with snowboarding through posts, reviews, interviews.  At the [...]

The 08-09 season just winded down with a greatseason ending at Windell’s Camp for their last session.  It’s been an amazing year of snowboarding and I’m really thankful that I can ride as much as I do and write about it. I’m in the final stretch for another year of 12 months a year of [...]

As a blogger I never expected to be recognized by snowboard media but every time that I meet the writers/editors that helped shape snowboarding I am taken aback that they know of the site.  Last month, Espn.com’s Colin Whyte approached me about doing a Q & A about shayboarder.com and I was really honored to [...]
