					<description><![CDATA[At this time last year, I had no idea what to expect for 2012. But I embraced the unknown and ended up traveling to many events, mountains and crossing many items off the bucket list. 2012 was an amazing year, definitely one for the books and I still can&#8217;t believe how lucky I was to experience so many great opportunities. I look forward to the new experiences, stories, travels and fun that 2013 can bring. Here are some of my personal favorite posts from this season. Company Visits: Endeavor Snowboards Dakine FUN Opportunities SIA is always a blast, 4 days of insane fun My first heli snowboarding trip with Eagle Pass Heliskiing 25 days in Alaska was amazing Snowcat Industry tour with 907 Snowcat in Valdez Snowboarding at Thompson Pass Interviews Sierra at Tahoe Communications and PR Manager Steven Hemphill NXTZ Brand Manager Dale Rehberg DWD Co-Owner Sean Genovese/a&#62; Sports Marketer Mary Walsh Eagle Pass Heliskiing Lead Guide Scott Newsome Skullcandy Canadian Brand Director Luke Edgar Woodward Tahoe Digital Media Manager Paul Heran Events Finally seeing the Mt Baker Legendary Banked Slalom Finals Red Bull Third Shift at Snoqualmie World Freeride Championships in Alaska Checking out the Rhythm and Bruise contest in [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When I think back to this day five years ago, I still remember the reason I started this blog. I wanted to share my passion and world of snowboarding with the world (to whoever cared to listen). It wasn&#8217;t to make money, it wasn&#8217;t to be recognized by people and it certainly wasn&#8217;t to get free gear. I set out with my own content and now five years later, I can look around and see the impact this site has had on snowboarding. It&#8217;s pretty rad. In the past five years, I&#8217;ve written 2,296 blog posts which comes out to roughly 459 blog posts per year. It was always a labor of love. Blogging and creating content is time, energy and love. Thank goodness I had a lot of love to give. There were many late nights and early mornings dedicated to updating the blog before working a full-time 9-5 job. This has always been a personal blog devoted to fun on the mountain and it&#8217;s amazing to see how passion and hard work have helped it grow. After five years of writing about it, I still love snowboarding. Something about breathing in the cold winter air, feeling the board [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Today I read a quote from Terry Kidwell that said, &#8220;I never started snowboarding to make money. It was always about having fun, riding with friends&#8230;and the same stands today.&#8221; That quote made me think alot about snowboarding, myself and this blog. When I started this blog on August 20 four years ago, it was to share a passion I had for snowboarding &#8211; that snowboarding is about having fun, riding with your friends and those precious moments that bond us on cold snowy days. Whether you ride five days a year or 100 days a year, it&#8217;s about those experiences.  I&#8217;ll never be core, I&#8217;ll never be pro and I&#8217;ll probably never land a 540&#8230;but I&#8217;m happy to strap a snowboard to my feet, laugh with friends and have fun. I&#8217;m incredibly lucky to share the fun of snowboarding through this blog and I hope that it&#8217;s contagious for everyone who reads shayboarder.com. Thank you to every single reader that has tuned into shayboarder.com. Over the past four years, I&#8217;ve gotten to know you, met some of you and shared countless emails with many of you.  You have helped this blog grow to be what it is and I [&#8230;]]]></description>

I&#8217;m enjoying the summer but also looking for ideas/feedback on how to make shayboarder.com a better place so I&#8217;d love for everyone to take the survey! The feedback has been great so far and really eye-opening on what you guys want more of, so definitely give your honest opinion on how I&#8217;m doing and how to make this site better! The best part is I&#8217;m already starting to implement some of the ideas so every survey counts!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Last spring I had to put a stop to the shayboarder stickers because realistically I knew that summer at Mt Hood was going to be busy and not affordable to ship out stickers.  But now that I&#8217;m settled, I put back in an order with Ink Monstr and just got more shayboarder stickers! [singlepic id=10411 w=500 h=281 float=] Both the shayboarder.com stickers and die cuts are free.  The die cuts are available in 3 colors: green, blue and purple. I’ll mail them anywhere around the world. Email shayboarder@gmail.com with your name/address, color and quantity you would like (keep it under 5, please). After you receive your stickers and sticker up your board, house, car, neighborhood…take a photo and send it my way so I can put it up on the  shayboarder gallery page andshayboarder fan page to showcase the stickers as they make their way around the world. I just want to thank everyone for supporting the site.  I truly appreciate it and seeing my stickers show up in rad places is more than I could have imagined.]]></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>

					<description><![CDATA[Three years ago I sat down in front of my computer and began this snowboard blog that eventually would grow to become something recognizable.  It began as a way to express myself and share a passion for snowboarding with the world but I never expected that it would reach over 1.7 million visitors and lead to amazing opportunities, people and countless adventures in the snow. Thank you to everyone who checks in to read this blog.  You are the best most loyal supportive appreciative readers I&#8217;ve ever encountered on the internet and in person.  I really owe a lot to everyone who supports shayboarder.com with stickers or just word of mouth, thank you so much for being such a great part of this journey. [singlepic id=6104 w=400 h=300 float=] I am very lucky to have snowboarding in my life because through the ups and downs I can release into a mountain of snow, breathe in the cold air and realize that I am happy making my own path down the mountain.  Some days there are friends to share it with and other days it&#8217;s my thoughts but I&#8217;m a part of something real.  Snowboarding isn&#8217;t just a activity, it&#8217;s my way [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I often think about the pursuit of happiness and the choices I&#8217;ve made that have made me happier.  Coming to Hood this summer was a big decision; quitting my year round job at Steamboat and leaving my dog with friends was tough but the payoff has been happiness.  I am living the dream of riding all summer at Mt Hood, working for Windells Camp and even though I&#8217;m 27 years old&#8230;I&#8217;m finally doing it.  It&#8217;s been a dream summer and i&#8217;m incredibly lucky to experience this. [singlepic id=9638 w=600 h=338 float=] For those following the camp updates all summer, everyday is more fun than it looks on film or that I could capture in this blog. There are definitely stories that won&#8217;t make the blog but that&#8217;s why I focus on snowboarding and not partying.  I&#8217;ve met some amazing people that work at Windells and met so many rad campers from the experience.  We just started session 5 at camp and it&#8217;s hard to believe just two more sessions till it all ends. [singlepic id=9640 w=600 h=338 float=] I&#8217;m still unsure where I will be after August but I&#8217;m crossing my fingers for good things to happen and timing to [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a look back at this incredible season that was my 2009-2010 for myself and this blog.  I spent most of the winter in Colorado but was able to travel to many events this year and it was definitely the most fun progressing year for me in the park. I&#8217;m still blown away by the love and appreciation that many of you have for this blog, it&#8217;s been quite the experience to share with you! I feel so incredibly lucky to have snowboarding in my life and happy that I&#8217;ve found something I&#8217;m so passionate about that every year just gets better! I hope your 2009-2010 season was great and here&#8217;s to an upcoming 2010-2011 season that&#8217;s rapidly approaching.  I&#8217;m still unsure where I&#8217;ll end up but I have an optimistic feeling that it&#8217;ll be somewhere rad! [singlepic id=9567 w=500 h=332 float=] My favorite photo:  Vancity Allie My stats: First day of the season was October 17, 2009 at Loveland in Colorado. It was one of the best opening days that I can remember, good people on a great mountain with barely any lines!

					<description><![CDATA[Four years ago I packed up my truck with all my belongings and moved to Colorado for resort town living. I arrived in Steamboat Springs without a home, job and unsure of what the future would hold for me but all I wanted was to snowboard.  The move ended up being the best decision I&#8217;ve made as I made a life for myself in Colorado and the snowboarding scene.  I never expected to become shayboarder but the choices I&#8217;ve made have allowed me to follow my own dreams and showcase my passion for snowboarding on this blog.  I&#8217;m about to embark on another journey, another decision where I don&#8217;t know the outcome but I&#8217;m ready to try something new.  At the end of May, I&#8217;ll be ending my job with Steamboat Ski &#38; Resort, leaving Steamboat Springs and moving to Mt Hood for the summer. [singlepic id=5989 w=400 h=300 float=] I&#8217;ve accepted a job with Windells Camp to work on their social media this summer and continue snowboarding over the summer at Mt Hood.  I&#8217;m really excited to be working for Windells with such a great crew of people and excited for the opportunity.  Even though I&#8217;d be leaving a [&#8230;]]]></description>
