There's another big week of freestyle skiing ahead with the Winter X Games opening in Aspen, Colorado last night and a World Cup Freestyle stop on tap next week at Deer Valley, Utah.
The X Games memorialized Sarah Burke, a six time X Games gold medal winner, with a candlelight vigil at the top of the Superpipe and then a procession of athletes slowly, silently and solemnly sliding on their skis and snowboards down the length of the pipe.
The skiing competition at the X games kicked off with Kaya Turski winning her third straight gold medal in the women's Ski Slopestyle. Tom Wallisch won the Men's Ski Slopestyle gold medal Thursday night with the highest score ever, holding off 17-year-old rookie Nick Goepper.
