This is not just about Skiing. It's about life, the pursuit of purpose and the challenge to never stop dreaming. Whether you Ski or not you will find something to take away from this documentary on the life of Shane McConkey. Exceptionally researched and meticulously edited. A truly amazing documentary.

Amazing how inspirational this film is when the tragic ending is a given. Made me go back and rewatch a bunch of old ski movies!
