“Shane McConkey, 1969-2009 Legendary skier, innovator, friend and all-around industry ruler Shane McConkey passes away.”
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009Incase you didn’t know…But I’m sure most of you did.
While thinking of new ideas for Outdoor Technology and our recent birth into the extreme sports and mountain culture/industry, I stumbled across an article about Shane McConkey and his tragic death last winter that took the mountain community by surprise. What
a better person to inspire us to keep creating, innovating and expanding the mountain community? Who ever thought the shape of a water ski would work well in POWDER?!
It’s always nice to look back and reflect on the people that helped create the mountain community we have and love so much today! RIP Shane and god bless your family!
