Under a big a$$ rock...
The guy talking was Shane McConkey who passed away about a month ago doing that in Italy filming for a ski movie. He was a local to Squaw Valley here in Tahoe. I had met him a few times, really down to earth guy! He was the one who pioneered the sport of skiing off terminal cliffs and parachuting to safety but had a ski malfunction on his last jump that did not allow him to pull the chute. It was a very sad day for the skiing world!
