Crap - RIP Sarah Burke
Mt. Baker is a hotbed of snowboarding with some big names coming here to
race and ride.
The community just lost one of its luminaries -- from the
Bellingham Herald:
Canadian freestyle skier Sarah Burke dead at 29
Sarah Burke was an X Games star with a grass-roots mentality - a daredevil superpipe skier who understood the risks inherent to her sport and the debt she owed to it.
The pioneering Canadian freestyler, who helped get superpipe accepted into the Olympics, died Thursday after a Jan. 10 crash during a training run in Park City, Utah.
Burke, who lived near Whistler, in British Columbia, was 29.
A dangerous sport but some amazing people.
