Tahoe Skiing Icon Will Be Missed

March 31, 2009

39 year old Shane McConkey, a local skiing and BASE jumping professional died in a tragic accident in Italy last Thursday, March 26th.  Click Here for the full story.

Shane was a hero to many for not only for his athletic talents but for his humor and attitude towards life.  He will be missed greatly by many including myself.  Visit www.shanemcconkey.org for updates regrading a memorial service and if you have the means to make a donation to his family, Shane is survived by a wife and 3 year old daughter.
