Shane McConkey: World’s most incredible extreme skier, dies in ski-BASE accident
This isn’t exactly new news here, but I’ve seen a lot of debate about the death of Shane McConkey. For those who don’t know of him, he was an extreme skier who performs stunts no other human on the planet can do. Simply put, he could ski any line and, in more recent times, combined skiing with BASE jumping to make for some truly amazing feats. But were the risks he took too great? He left behind a wife and child. It’s a debate I’ve seen rage over the past several days. I figured I’d put this to you.
