					<description><![CDATA[Long before this blog, I wondered about the people behind the snowboard brands, companies and ideas. Those questions turned out to become the Industry Profile series. For the past three summers, countless companies, jobs and people from all different backgrounds have told their stories in these interviews. The 2011 Industry Profiles composed of 33 individuals, from June to October every Tuesday and Thursday in an interview series that showcased various jobs within the industry.  This summer I had the highest number of female interviews (eight women) inside the ski/snowboard industry and a higher amount of people switched jobs after their interviews. Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit an interview and share their thoughts.  I truly appreciate the effort it took to share your story and make this happen.  Thanks to everyone who read the interviews all summer long. I’d like to know which interviews/people you liked the most this summer, who do you remember after countless interviews and why? Also if you are ready for a new format of questions/interviews and your thoughts? Here are the 2011 Industry Profiles in case you missed them: Axis Media Founder Mike Basher Video Producer Tyler Malay AM Snowboarder Emily [&#8230;]]]></description>

Basher: No, but my wife bought me these tight little red swim shorts a few years ago, and I can’t figure out what to do with them. Family-friendly down pipe, or the not-so-discreet side-pipe? Shay: How many dudes have you ever shared a bed with? Basher: Just one, and unfortunately, there’s no cool story, other than waking up to a mean Joe Sexton dutch oven one morning. Shay: Who do you currently hate? Mike: The older I get, the longer the list. Shay: What’s your biggest pet peeve? Mike: @ and #.

Shay: Tell us a little bit about yourself Tyler: I was born and raised in Mississippi River valley of Winona, MN, where I lived until 2002 when I attended the University of Minnesota Duluth. I spent five years in Duluth, dividing my time between coursework and snowboarding. It was during this time that I found film as a hobby that combined my interest in both snowboarding and the visual arts. After graduation, I moved west, and have been bouncing between Colorado, Oregon, and Minnesota ever since. Shay: How has snowboarding changed your life? Tyler: Ever since I began snowboarding fifteen years ago, it has been a major part of my life. While I was a kid, snowboarding was a staple hobby and the best excuse to hang with my friends. As I’ve grown up, snowboarding has become the axis my life revolves around. It has taken me around the world on adventures I’d never have gone on, introduced me to some of my closest [&#8230;]]]></description>

Days on snow: Over 100 days. Currently Riding: 147 Bataleon Distortia, Flux Titans Currently I am: Waiting for A-Basin to open! Then Keystone, then Copper, then Breck. Come on snow! Shay: Tell us a little bit about yourself Emily: I just turned 23 this summer and I recently moved back to Breckenridge, CO. I spent the summer working as an overnight counselor at Woodward at Copper so I got to snowboard pretty much every day in their Catalyst terrain park. I have an associate&#8217;s degree in Marketing but I don&#8217;t really use it (no desk job for me right now). Instead, I spend my time following the snow and working at coffee houses. Pretty much I want to stay happy, have fun and snowboard as much as I can. My dream is to one day find a career that lets me snowboard and use my degree. We&#8217;ll see what this year has in store!

I love my wife, family, snowboarding and surfing more than anything. Shay: How has snowboarding changed your life? Gabe: It has given me some of the most memorable experiences of my life. It&#8217;s crazy how passionate and obsessive compulsive you can become over something as silly as riding a piece of wood down some snow. But that&#8217;s exactly what snowboarding has done to me.

Rob: Right after BOA started I was approached by my friend Caleb who at the time ran BC Surf &#38; Sport in town and he mentioned that a guy named Gary Hammerslag was looking for snowboard boot testers for this lacing system he invented. That was pretty much it and I have been involved with the company ever since. [&#8230;]]]></description>

Shay: Tell us a little bit about yourself Jared: My background is mostly in BMX. I grew up riding and competing in BMX freestyle, throughout the 80s and 90s and skateboarding a bit too. I guess I was a &#8220;sponsored&#8221; BMX rider, and I&#8217;m most well known as a BMX photographer. I was on the east coast, outside of Boston, so I was around snow early. Back in the early 80s during the winter we&#8217;d take old skateboard decks, flip them around tail first, wax the bottom up, and go &#8220;snowboarding&#8221; down the bigger hills and steep driveways in the neighborhood during storms.
