					<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>
