					<description><![CDATA[Six years ago I sat in front of my computer writing my introduction to the World of Snowboarding on shayboarder.com. It began with a blog post, zero views and no expectations on where it would go or lead me. I never expected that shayboarder.com would change my life, lead me to amazing experiences or make an impact on snowboarding. But now I can look back on this journey and say how incredibly lucky I have been. I made my own path into the snowboard industry and all it took was a lot of hard work and passion. Last year I made the decision to focus on my career and put shayboarder.com on the backburner. After almost six years, I was ready to snowboard without telling the world about it, ride boards without needing to review them and enjoy some much needed moments away from the shayboarder world. I was ready to take a break, so I did and I really appreciate my fans who let it happen. I want to take this moment to thank everyone who has read shayboarder.com over the past six years. It&#8217;s been very rewarding to share my journey with you. After all, I&#8217;m just a [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<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. [singlepic id=13272 w=300 h=563 float=] Flow Tailgate Alaska &#8211; April 1-12, 2012 [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Since becoming an iPhone owner, I&#8217;ve loved being able to capture daily moments and post them up on Instagram. It&#8217;s becoming addicting and allows me to share my life in new ways. I&#8217;ve also been sharing them more frequently on Twitter and Facebook but the majority are still posted to Instagram. If you have an instagram account, lets connect and follow each other. Just search for Shayboarder and you&#8217;ll get to see my Mammoth life, snowboarding updates and random point of views from my perspective (and my really cute dog). Hope to connect on Instagram!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[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 reviews.  It&#8217;s an honor to have the respect of fellow snowboarders around the world coming to this website.  And since I turned 28 yesterday, it&#8217;s also a great birthday present! [singlepic id=11910 w=500 h=71 float=] Thanks to everyone who has come to my website and read what I&#8217;ve written.  I hope over the past years that you&#8217;ve found it useful and informational for snowboarding.  Thank you all!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I grew up skiing with my family and took the ski bus to the mountains but somewhere down the line I wanted to snowboard and snowboarding became my path for the past 17 seasons.  Since then I&#8217;ve only stepped back on skis one other time until today.  My co-worker Lauren and I rock the same shoe size which meant an easy switch to make her try snowboarding and me get back on skis. We ended up heading out for our lunch/ride break and later on Dan joined me for a couple turns.  The fun part was it was exactly as I remembered it and while it&#8217;s been years, it didn&#8217;t feel like years.  It was pretty humorous to go out to chair 6 rocking skis and poles. [singlepic id=11266 w=300 h=533 float=] Here&#8217;s Lauren quickly learning how to skate on a snowboard.  This was her second time snowboarding after she learned her first lesson years ago.  I was stoked since she picked it the balance quickly and was sideslipping/falling leaf the mountain up.  A longer day and she would have been turning. [singlepic id=11267 w=300 h=533 float=] We ended up lapping chair 6 next to the park to get out [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<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[When I first hit 1 million last November it was a surprise but as I approached the 2 million mark I knew it was coming rapidly into reality.  2 million&#8230;what a number!  2010 has been a great year for shayboarder.com; it&#8217;s been a year of changes as I made the move from Colorado to Oregon to California but also that I continue to have amazing readers who follow my journeys.  Thank you! [singlepic id=10075 w=800 h=94 float=] I am incredibly lucky to have everyone who reads this blog, you guys make all my adventures a realty and drive me to be a better snowboarder.  By better I don&#8217;t mean a pro but someone who cares passionately about it and is willing to share/help in any way possible.  I am very lucky to live in the mountains, work for great resorts and write about something I love.  Somehow you guys enjoy it too!  So thank you, to every reader who has found this blog&#8230;cheers to you!]]></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[I haven&#8217;t closed the door on the 09-10 winter yet since I&#8217;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 another October opening and by November many more resorts will be opening up for the season.  It&#8217;s been another amazing year of snowboarding as I have just completed my longest season on snow from Colorado to Mt Hood without needing to leave the United States.  Until winter arrives, I&#8217;ll keep with the distractions of the snowboard premieres that are about to arrive full force as the temperatures drop. This was my third summer of Industry Profiles Interviews that take up the summer twice a week and give a glimpse of people and jobs within the snowboard industry.  The format became more condensed and easier to work with which has made it less time consuming and hopefully you guys have liked them!  I&#8217;m getting the last of the interviews in from a variety of pros, designers, founders and magazines.  September will be the last month for [&#8230;]]]></description>
