Grief, loss, and hundreds and hundreds of joyful remembrances of an amazing and inspirational life prevail in the wake of Shane McConkey’s passing.
As Shane McConkey’s passing sinks into the ski industry and world beyond, the tributes, comments, photos and videos are overwhelming. The influence and impact of Shane’s life, and his death, is hitting the community in McConkey-like fashion: Huge. It is heartbreaking, in so many ways, for everyone who knew him and thousands of people who never met him – but were inspired by his actions. The full impact of this monumental loss to the skiiing community, the Lake Tahoe community and the literally thousands of people Shane touched in his 38 years is still undiscovered. But it reveals itself with each new heartfelt post we find.
