					<description><![CDATA[Last Friday I had the amazing opportunity to be the keynote speaker at Snowcial&#8217;s Blog University. The Tahoe Snowcial is where technology, community and snowsports meet up and it begins on January 6th in South Lake Tahoe. The Blog University portion included a lot of questions regarding blogging and focused on how Snow Sports and Travel bloggers, and any blogger for that matter, can grow their audience and maximize their voice.  It was my first time speaking in public about my blog experience and sharing my story about shayboarder.com.  I really want to thank Jon Burns and Laura Cochran for making it happen. [singlepic id=10327 w=1000 h=622 float=] I arrived on Thursday night just in time to catch up with Jon and Laura but also have some fun with the Porters Tahoe crew (with a fun write up so click on them) and Fran Richards from Spy. The vibe from Snowcial was really amazing and I definitely hope to attend the full conference in the future. Friday morning kicked off with the Blog University in the morning where I was able to meet new faces and familiar faces from twitter like Skiingexaminer&#8217;s Eric Wagnon.  After I spoke, I listened to [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This has been an amazing winter so far.  Moving to California has exceeded all my dreams in terms of the mountain, the job and a fresh start.  One of the rad things coming up is being part of the Tahoe Snowcial in a few weeks.  The Tahoe Snowcial is where technology, community and snowsports meet up and it begins on January 6th in South Lake Tahoe.  It&#8217;s a rad conference with four days of events including a day of speakers and lots of snowboarding.  On Friday January 7th, Snowcial will host Blog University which focuses on, &#8221; How Snow Sports and Travel bloggers, and any blogger for that matter, can grow their audience and maximize their voice.&#8221; I&#8217;m excited to be able to head to Snowcial to participate in part of the conference but the main reason I&#8217;ll be there is to be the keynote speaker at the Blog University.  I&#8217;m really excited to tell my story about shayboarder.com and my experiences in blogging so far.  Of course I&#8217;m nervous but really stoked for the opportunity and it gives me a chance to check out Snowcial!

					<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I was given a heads up on the blog that Mike West is doing, documenting his life as he owns and operates 686 Outerwear and apparel.   Scrolling through the blog, I found one post that really stands out because it shows the best look into an overseas factory that I have seen to-date.  From the photos to descriptions, Mike really lays out the process and work involved in the 686 factory in China.   Head over to Hypebeast to check out his blog post or just click on the swine flu masks. [singlepic id=4583 w=400 h=300 float=] It&#8217;s great to see how people who have access to so much, with just a blog can show the world about what goes behind the scenes.  I&#8217;m already a fan of 686 outerwear and every year I continue to support them because of the quality and people behind the scenes.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Each journalist is powerful in the words that they write, the impressions they make and the final touch they bring to a story, a product or a picture. Many of the most popular blogs in the snowboard industry or beyond are respected because they don&#8217;t follow the trend. They have their own voice that isn&#8217;t paid for, marketing language or to sell a product. Each day there is a choice on what to blog about and what not to blog about. [singlepic id=5255 w=400 h=266 float=] Within my own blog, I have found a voice and a need to bring an unbiased opinion to the masses on snowboarding. If it&#8217;s not related to snowboarding, or in my opinion related to it, it won&#8217;t get a mention. During SIA, I visited companies I was interested in and was able to meet with. Some companies I was interested in but missed out on meeting with and others I chose to not meet with because I don&#8217;t agree with what they are. I didn&#8217;t meet with Ed Hardy or Bitchboards or companies that create a binding that turns so you skate easier. Last I checked snowboarding didn&#8217;t need those things. Many major companies [&#8230;]]]></description>
