After looking at for hours various picture, video, and written memorials from some of the most legendary skiers and magazines out there instead of doing the immense amount of homework I have to do, I'll admit it, because I'm not too manly to do it: I shed a tear over the loss of my idol. He will be dearly missed.
Thank you for all you have done and inspired many others to do. Raise a Jagerbomb to the sky and cheers to one of the greats. Thoughts and prayers with your family.
RIP McConkey, my Idol, my hero. I hope you and Coombs are shreddin fluffly white clouds in heaven. My next saucer purchase will be in your memory. Nothing can come close to what you've done for the sport.
