Canadian freestyle ski star, Sarah Burke, remains in a Utah hospital in a coma, after crashing during a training run.

Witnesses of the Superpipe event at Park City said Burke appeared to land her jump Tuesday, but then crashed so hard she had to be revived on the hill.

The Canadian Freestyle Ski Association said Wednesday, their thoughts and prayers are with Burke as she recovers. They also say despite the incident, they still consider the sport safe.

Canadian team doctor Bob Foxford says in Burke’s current condition, she will be monitored around the clock.
