					<description><![CDATA[Earlier this winter I had two options: 1. to stay in California and figure things out or 2. travel the world, live my dreams and figure things out. The decision was pretty easy, I was gonna travel, have fun and do what I wanted. It&#8217;s been everything I&#8217;ve dreamed of and this winter is about to get better. I&#8217;m about to hit the road running (well flying). First stop is California this weekend, then it&#8217;s back to Washington where I&#8217;ll be getting my Avalanche Level I at Mt Baker, then it&#8217;s off to Revelstoke for Tailgate BC and finally Thompson Pass for Tailgate AK. The next couple months will be hard work but an incredible experience. If you haven&#8217;t heard about Tailgate Alaska, all the info is at http://www.tailgatealaska.com/. I&#8217;ll be sharing the experience this spring. Flow Tailgate BC &#8211; March 8-12, 2012 Revelstoke. One simple word with lots of powder in the mind. The first Tailgate BC is heading to Revelstoke next month for a couple days of tailgating, riding and having a good time. I&#8217;ll be driving up to the event and helping out with media.

For the next 10 days I&#8217;ll be on the road, in the tradeshow for four days, on the snow demos for two days and finally relaxing towards the end of the trip. I&#8217;ll be attending the SIA Tradeshow as media for Shayboarder.com. Over the next couple days you&#8217;ll see a lot of 2013 gear, twitter updates (@Shayboarder), instagram photos (Shayboarder), Facebook Updates (/Shayboarder) and a whole lotta fun in the process. After the tradeshow, I’ll immediately head into the mountains for the on-snow portion at Winter Park then on a mini vacation roadtrip. After I get back in Washington, I&#8217;ll start the constant updates from SIA with product information and 2012 reviews. Here&#8217;s what is coming up for the next 10 days! SIA Tradeshow in Denver Watch out Denver, the snowboard and ski industry is coming to Colorado! The SIA Tradeshow is an industry event where the next year&#8217;s gear is released. A ton of ski and snowboard companies will be displaying their 2013 gear for industry buyers and media this week. It all kicks off on Thursday and ends Sunday. Plus each [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[After weeks of planning, organizing and getting ready for a move&#8230;it was finally time. Since I can no longer call Mammoth Lakes home, I packed up my truck and hit the open highway to bring my belongings up to Washington. I&#8217;m not quite sure where the end of the road is yet but Washington is my current waiting room and having a stellar season so far. [singlepic id=12893 w=341 h=452 float=] My first destination was Lake Tahoe where I rode Northstar and Heavenly, met up with the Snowcial conference and hung out with rad people in the industry. It was quite the precursor to SIA and offered up a fun bit of riding before the storms hit California. I left Tahoe right as the storms were starting to roll in (I know, crazy right). But I chose to have family time over snowboarding time. There are times in life when you realize how important family is and I&#8217;m now in that position. I gladly took a couple days off of snowboarding to be able to spend time with my brother, sister-in-law and niece in San Jose before visiting my grandparents in Red Bluff. On Sunday, I finally hit the road [&#8230;]]]></description>

That&#8217;s what is currently going on with myself so rather than sit around and do nothing, I&#8217;m making the most of my current situation and heading out to Colorado for the Copper Grand Prix. It&#8217;s the first stop on the Grand Prix and I&#8217;ll get to watch the best freeskiers and snowboarders throw down over a couple days of fun in the sun, powder and whatever else Colorado throws our way.

					<description><![CDATA[A couple years ago, I would have chosen snowboarding over my family. I was younger and needed the freedom to be away, make my own decisions and follow my own path. As I&#8217;ve grown older and experienced the freedom, it has pushed me closer to my family and was part of the reason I was ready to move to California. Now within a couple hours of driving I can spend the holidays with them or just a weekend every now and then. A couple months ago I was told that my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary would be a family gathering and I needed to be there. The downside was their anniversary fell on Mammoth&#8217;s Opening Weekend. Instead of the weekend snowboarding, partying and working &#8211; I&#8217;ll be spending it with both sets of parents, grandparents, sibling, cousins and more. I&#8217;m making sure to shred along the way to Northern California but I&#8217;m looking forward to being there for an important event. I will be in Mammoth for Opening Day today to document the experience, update Mammoth social media and do my normal job of copywriting throughout the day. If you are on the mountain, say hi and give me a [&#8230;]]]></description>

This will be my third time as a media member for shayboarder.com and I’ll be updating the blog as I can.  I&#8217;ll also tweeting out during the show so make sure you follow me on twitter.com/shayboarder for the latest updates from SIA. [singlepic id=7541 w=400 h=300 float=] After the tradeshow, I’ll immediately head into the mountains for the on-snow portion at Winter Park before I head back to Mammoth.  I&#8217;m keeping my fingers crossed that since I&#8217;ll be leaving town, it&#8217;ll start snowing once I&#8217;m gone.  After I get back in Mammoth, I&#8217;ll start the constant updates from SIA with product information and 2012 reviews.

					<description><![CDATA[Three months ago I moved to Mammoth and I gotta say, life is good.  Mammoth is a great state of mind, the mountain is amazing and I&#8217;m still exploring it!  Plus June is just outside of town and already loving that mtn.  The town and people are an interesting change with the majority of traffic from LA but with a really rad local population in place.  Each day is something new and I&#8217;m working to be a better writer as I learn more about marketing.  The snow here isn&#8217;t blower light and fluffy but it&#8217;s not heavy sopping wet either, it&#8217;s a good in between that I&#8217;m liking more and more each time I ride it.  Being here reminds me of being at SIA except on the snow all the time, the snow industry from So-Cal isn&#8217;t far and it&#8217;s fun to be able to run into familiar faces. [singlepic id=10432 w=300 h=533 float=] So life is good&#8230;but here&#8217;s what&#8217;s going on for the future. Reviews So this has been an interesting transition for reviews on shayboarder.com.  California isn&#8217;t Colorado when it comes to demo days which means getting on gear takes more time and effort than just going to [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Over the past couple months I&#8217;ve said &#8220;I don&#8217;t know&#8221; a lot.  It happened anytime someone asked about this upcoming winter, plans and everything involved in my life.  Luckily now I know!  So I wanted to give an update on this upcoming 10-11 winter since I&#8217;m enjoying the winter from the California snowboard scene and from Mammoth, Lakes. [singlepic id=10062 w=500 h=281 float=] I&#8217;m really happy to be here this winter because Mammoth is home to a ton of great snowboard contests plus June Mountain is a close drive which means less traveling for me.  I&#8217;m going to be focusing on myself this winter, with a much needed fresh start in California.   If I start to go bonkers from all the snow, the so-cal scene is a easy weekend trip away. The biggest event I&#8217;m planning this winter is to attend the SIA Tradeshow in late January/early February in Denver, CO.  It&#8217;ll be my first trip back to CO this season so definitely happy to be able to catch up with friends when I&#8217;m back in CO.  I&#8217;ll be there to attend the Tradeshow and hit the slopes for the on-snow.  I&#8217;m already booked with registration, flight and hotel [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Winter is just around the corner and I&#8217;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&#8217;m in a new location it means a lot of opportunities to progress.  It&#8217;s hard to believe it&#8217;s my 17th year of snowboarding but it means more opportunity for progression and continuing the fun of snowboarding. This is my first winter in Mammoth so I&#8217;m definitely excited to ride this new mountain.  It seems like a lot of new riding potential with freeriding and in the park.  Plus new riding partners to meet! [singlepic id=9948 w=400 h=300 float=] Days on snow: For the last couple years 100 days on snow has been my main goal but I also recognize that might not always happen.  Last year ended with a 151 days which was amazing to have that opportunity and now I just hope to keep riding when I can.  I&#8217;m really happy to be at Mammoth which can have a long season of riding and ride new [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week I hit the road for a location that I had only heard about but never been to; the new location would soon be Mammoth Lakes, California. It was about to become my home, my new residence and where I will spend my upcoming winters &#38; summers.  Once again my truck was packed up, my dog totally confused and myself contemplating my life on the drive to CA. I had recently done an interview with burritosandsnow about moving and committing to living in resort towns. I had done my first move in 2006 to Steamboat Springs, CO which I wrote about my experience in that interview. During the drive to Mammoth, I thought about how different this move was going to be; I was moving to a place I had never visited but had heard great things about, I was moving alone with my dog and I was moving to a place where I knew few people which means a fresh start to basically everything. The unknown is always scary but I&#8217;m excited for my job here and the ability to start fresh.  Upon arriving in Mammoth Lakes, I soon found out that it exceeds it&#8217;s reputation.
