Gone but not forgotten

As many of us may remember, Shane McConkey passed away this past winter.  McConkey was a legend and a pioneer in our sport.  He was constantly pushing the limits and taking it way beyond what was ever believed possible.

Several years ago, McConkey designed a ski that fit his skiing style.  The Pontoon was big and fast, perfect for Shane's style of skiing.  For the 09/10 winter, K2 is releasing a new topsheet for the Pontoon inspired by Shane's life.  Only about 500 pairs are being built so if you can, get a pair early and go big often.

  1. I am so glad that they put this out. They really tempt me to get a pair.
