Canadian Skier Nick Zoricic Dies Following Skicross Crash

The 29-year-old Zoricic crashed directly into safety nets lining the side of the course after going wide over the final jump. Television showed Zoricic tumbling through the nets as his skis and poles were thrown clear.

The Zoricic is the second Canadian skier to die this year. Sarah Burke died in January from injuries sustained in a training crash.
