As you all probably have heard by this time, freeskiing legend Shane McConkey died yesterday in Italy while filming ski Base jumping. When the news hit me I felt so empty, I can’t put words on it. No other skier ever meant as much to me as Shane, as he was the one that got me into this sport in the first place. I remember watching ski movies when I was in 5th grade, and Shane’s parts were always my favorite, inspiring me to go out and do the same thing.

Shane, you will always be missed.
