Shane McConkey.



What an amazing person. I don't even know where to start with Shane. He's a legend, he's quirky, can always make anybody smile, hilarious, and an incredibly talented athlete. He's been there from the beginning of my passion for skiing and has forever since been one of my greatest inspirations.



I remember being young and thinking that I could maybe catch up with Shane and Gaffney at Squaw. I think that's when it all started for me. So thank you Shane. You will be missed and fondly remembered.



Last year while filming with MSP, Shane would pick out the craziest lines by far. Sometimes I was nervous for him...I was quickly taken back by him stomping absolutely everything. That old man one of the best damn skiers I've ever seen.
