The McConkey Movie is going to be a eye opener for all of us when it comes out Fall 2013.
4 years ago today, we lost Shane McConkey. Â He was the most influential skier of the modern era. He made skiing fun, goofy, innovative, and inspiring again. Â He helped skiing come back to the forefront by showing people not only what can be done on skis, but how much fun can be had on skis.

Today is a good day to think about Shane and remember what he he did for skiing.
We thank Shane for our fat skis, our rockered skis, GNAR, Â ski-BASE jumping, and most importantly: Â Saucer Boy.
Thanks Shane!
