Shane McConkey came into this world December 30, 1969. He left at 5pm on March 26th, 2009, only 39 years old. During that time, he inspired countless lives, changed the ski world forever and altered the paths of thousands of friends and acquaintances through his accomplishments, talent, irreverence, life experience and entirely unique outlook on life. To continue Shane’s Legacy, the Shane McConkey Foundation supports causes that were close to his Heart including kids, animals, environment, and radness.
