Yeah. Serious injuries within the sport is mad sad. Especially with people who pushed the sport, towards letting female skiers compete etc.

Why does stuff like this have to happen to such good people, the only way to describe that video was cute. I can't imagine what Rory's going through right now. Good luck, I'm wishing for the best.

I met Sarah at Momentum one year. I remember her being super approachable and really one of the friendliest people I've met. Hoping she pulls through this.

Yeah, its tragic.

In my opinion she is (female) skier of the year anyways no matter what freeskier thinks.

She goes huges and seems like such a charismatic person. Best of luck

This has been in the back of my mind all week. So sad. I really hope all turns out well.

I read the article and it said she is still in critical condition but does anyone know if she is in a coma from the original injury or if she is in a medically induced coma, or even in a coma at all?

I believe she is in an induced coma to keep the pressure down. The same thing happened to my dads best friend in a plane crash sadly he didn't make it :'(

I can't even imagine how Rory is feeling. SIP Sarah. One of the biggest losses to our sport.
