For those who haven't seen In Deep... it was unreal watching this segment on the big screen, pretty emotional stuff too. McConkey was the man.

I dont think there is a skier alive that loves this sport who doesn't start that seg with a tear and end it with a fist pump. I love that all skiers can agree on one thing, that Shane Rocks! Not many people can bring an entire group of people together like he has. He needs a Nobel Peace Prize!
