He was also known for his contributions to ski design, notably being the father of reverse sidecut and reverse camber skis; first mounting bindings onto water skis for use in Alaska, then with the Volant Spatula and, more recently, the K2 Pontoon ski design. McConkey's high-speed chairlift and ski area at Park City Mountain Resort are named after his father, Jim McConkey, who is considered the father of extreme skiing. On April 2, 2011 Shane McConkey was inducted into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of fame along with other Truckee skiers, Darren Rahlves and Glen Plake.

  • Shane McConkey var en profesjonell skikjører. Han ble født i Vancouver, British Columbia og holdt hovedsakelig til i Squaw Valley, California. Han vant flere priser og konkurranser. McConkey startet karriæren som alpinist og kulekjører, men gikk etterhvert over til å portretteres i en rekke skifilmer med frikjøring og ekstremskikjøring. Shane var også kjent for å kombinere BASE-hopping med skikjøring, blant annet med å kjøre ski inn i et BASE-hopp fra Eiger. McConkey døde i Dolomittene i Italia 26. mars 2009 da han fikk problemer med å løse ut en ski under et BASE-hopp med wingsuit.
  • Шейн Макконки — профессиональный горнолыжник, бейсер и скайдайвер. Жил в Скво-Вэлли, в Калифорнии. Начинал с гоночных дисциплин, но потом перешёл к съёмкам в большой серии фильмов об экстремальном горнолыжном спорте. Макконки часто сочетал спуск на горных лыжах с бейсджампингом; в частности, в 2004 году он совершил бейс-прыжок с Эйгера. Макконки учился в Академии Бёрк-Маунтин в Вермонте. Известен также его вклад в развитие конструкции лыж: он придумал революционные лыжи для катания по целине — с обратным боковым вырезом и с обратным загибом передней части лыжи (так называемый рокер). Первой такой моделью стали Volant Spatula, позднее были разработаны K2 Pontoon. Также он первым использовал горнолыжные крепления на водных лыжах для использования на Аляске.
