Went Ski B.A.S.E. jumping in Italy.  When he went to pop his skis off in the air only one came off and he was upside down trying to kick the other one off but it was too late and his chute wasn't able to save him.  Basically he was dead upon impact.  That's just a real quick description.

RIP Shane, hope you are shredding hard somewhere.

I remember meeting him back when I lived at Squaw when I was 17. One day when he went into the lodge I saw his weird mirror skis, I went up to them thinking "what the hell are those", who knew his brainchild of a ski would have such a huge impact on the skiing and snowboarding communities. After that it was roshambo between me and my roommate on powder days to see who demos the only pair of spatulas Dave's Ski Shop had (we lived right next to it).

Shane you were always my favorite skier, you inspired me to enjoy every day on the mountain to the fullest, and even to drill ski bindings into old water skis haha. Your spirit will be shredding every waist deep powder day at Squaw for eternity.
