Story from Powder Mag - I think this weekends Dew Tour is going to be a hard one for the athletes, also feel for those competing in the Winter Youth Olympics.

I am not sure how to embed this but here is a video the Dew Tour put together in her memory.

Michelle said there was a very sombre mood in Whistler today. Lots of people very upset about such a big loss to the community.

Yes i was going to ask how Whistler are taking the news. I am guessing they will do some sort of memorial service. It would be great if Michelle has the time to go along and report.
