Shane McConkey is a renaissance man of the snow. His accomplishments on the mountain are wide-ranging. Growing up in Squaw Valley, California, Shane first was a junior racer, moved on to the pro mogul tour, dabbled in ski cross, and found his fame on the big mountains of ski movies. An outside-the-box thinker, Shane completely rethought the fat ski, inventing the greatest powder ski of all time. Like a Reese's Peanut Butter cup, Shane mixed his own combination of disparate elements, base jumping and skiing, to open up new lines of possibility on the biggest mountains in the world. For Shane, the rennaissance man, Wingsuit flying is his latest passion. Whatever mountain sport breaks big next, it's likely Shane McConkey's already mastered it. The Ski Channel spoke to the wily veteran from his home in Squaw Valley.
