I started Shayboarder.com in August 2007. In November 2009 shayboarder.com passed 1 million, in October 2010 it passed 2 million and now only 8 months later the 3 million mark has arrived!  What an insane journey this blog has become.  When I began writing, I never expected to become a leader in snowboard blogs and [...]

Winter is just around the corner and I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of winter in Mammoth Lakes.  I cannot wait for the snow to take over the trees and to see this place in the full beauty of winter.  Each year I try to set new goals for the upcoming season and since I’m in [...]

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!
