Skiracing community reels after Nik Zoricic dies in tragic crash

It was the second tragedy to rock the Canadian ski community in the past two months, following the death of freeskiing legend Sarah Burke after a crash while training on a superpipe in Utah in January.

  1. I grew up skiing with Nick and his Dad. I'm a mess, so I can only imagine how his family is. I'm so very sorry. Sending Love.

  5. RIP Nik Zoricic. That's now 2 Canadian brilliant, skilled snow sportists in a few months. Sad year. My heart goes out to his family.
  6. RT @tsnjamesduthie: Candian skicross racer Nik Zoricic dies after crash during race in Switzerland. Just 29. Two Canadian skiers gone in one winter. Awful.
  7. RIP Nik Zoricic. I can't believe this happened again to a Canadian skiier so soon after Sarah Burke, just tragic. :-(
  8. Tragic news... Rest in peace, Nik Zoricic. The man loved skiing, loved racing. Craigleith is proud of you always.
