Tribute to McConkey

We salute you Shane aka Saucer Boy with swigs of whiskey

The past ten days have been pretty rough for the community of Squaw Valley since our hero and friend, Shane McConkey, died. Many emotions flooded my friends and I. Ultimately, we constantly found ourselves reflecting on what a truly amazing, funny and genuine person Shane was, the enormous influence he has had on us and the inspiration that he will continue to have on the rest of our lives. This past Sunday, April 5th, there was a beautiful memorial service and celebration for Shane. Before the ceremony went down, we all went skiing and had a blast on the typical warm, sunny Squaw day. With Shane in our thoughts, Cody and Greg felt that the best way to pay their respects to the Legend was to do naked spread eagles off the Palisades. Shane would be proud of these boys...

I normally don't support seeing man junk but for Shane it is a well expressed tribute!
