Just saw this on the cbc ticker, no link yet. She died of head injuries received during a crash last week.

One of the best talents in the sport. Was almost guaranteed to medal for Canada in Sochi.

Terrible news. My condolences to her family.

What a shame. She was a phenomenal skier, and incredibly nice to her fans. Talked to her at freshtival a number of years ago. She chatted with a lot of people in attendance instead of just signing autographs in the queue.

Huge loss to the ski community. Thoughts go out to her friends and family.

Terrible terrible news. I was really hoping she would make it. She was the greatest female half pipe skier of all time.

She was married to professional skier Rory Bushfield from Balzac.

She died too young. RIP
