Dunno if anyone else is into freestyle skiing, but I was bummed to hear this. I've always loved winter sports, and she was quite a pioneer.

real Canadian legend. Sad that she won't be able to see her sport make its introduction at the olympics in 2014.

I enjoy watching these sports when they are on, what they do is not for the faint of heart and they put their lives on the line every time they run. I hope this doesn't mare the sport.

I have no idea who she is but it always sucks to hear about a young person dying. RIP Sarah

Very sad. Same halfpipe as Kevin Pearce too.

Like tmagman said, it is saddening that she won't be involved in the 2014 Winter Olympics, especially given that she was so instrumental in lobbying for its inclusion.

She was rad.
