Yes, that is the real name, which was changed from Manchester by its residents some years back so we could be “different” from all the other Manchester’s in the world. I know, ridiculous, right? Anyways, I grew up snowboarding a small mountain in western Mass called Bousquet where I originally skied for seven years. My grandfather was an instructor and wasn’t stoked when I flipped to “the dark side” at the ripe old age of ten. I ended up at UMass Amherst where I found myself riding the “big” mountains of the East Coast and helped run the UMass Ski and Snowboard Club. Which was basically a club that subsidized the price to ride and party all winter. Bonus! After college I traveled through Central America because why the hell not.

I was rocking a Vision Gonz, my first shred stick. Several years later I moved to Alaska, and hit the slopes of Alyeska, Chinook Pass, Thompson Pass and Hatcher Pass; that’s some major upward mobility. Shay: How has snowboarding changed your life?

The idea of working anywhere but in a ski town or in the mountains is pretty frightening to me. Then again I&#8217;ve always lived or worked in a ski town for as long as I can remember.

The Sunshine Coast is awesome in the summertime, lots of skimboarding, skateboarding and cliff jumping. But in the winter it just rains and there&#8217;s not much to do. So when I was younger, I would go to Vancouver as much as possible with a couple of buddies and ride Grouse, and when we got wheels we began to head up to Whistler. After high school I moved out to Victoria for a year for a change of scenery, but I only shredded one day that year so it was time to move on! I then moved to Vancouver, got a Whistler pass, and enrolled in an Engineering degree at the University of British Columbia.
