Sarah Burke: A Beautiful Reminder
From this excerpt of The Ski Channel’s second documentary film project, Winter, to this touching tribute written by ESPN’s Eli Saslow, we see how much Sarah impacted those around her, as well as those of us who were never lucky enough to meet her.
She is still an inspiration to everyone in the world of skiing, but to women, Sarah is a hero. These snippets of her short but full life show us that even as a hero, an idol, a super star, and a bad-ass athlete, Sarah was one of us. A dreamer, a lover, a friend, a woman. She represents ski bumettes everywhere, and her story gives us the strength to know that we can do anything we believe we can. Even through her tragic death, she is able to serve as a beautiful reminder of what it is to live by our own standards of happiness, while being a light in others’ lives as well.
Thank you Sarah. From one ski bumette to another.
