Yesterday I had the very unfortunate and shocking phone call informing me about the death of Shane McConkey. Shane passed away due to a base jumping accident in the Italian Dolomites. I was one of many fortunate people that had the pleasure of knowing Shane, and he was truly an inspiration in my life, as well as the entire ski industry. My prayers and condolences go out to Shane's wife and daughter as well as all his other family members and friends. Rest in Peace Shane. You will never be forgotten...

That's horrible!!! McConkey was such an innovator, he basically single-handedly inspired the fat-ski revolution. Bummer. Love to his fam and friends. Great BASE jumper. Greater skier. Greaterer Saucer Boy. RIP x 10.
