Interesting Fact: Her greatest inspiration is Sarah Burke, the late female freestyle pioneer who crashed during a run in 2012 and died nine days later. Turski says she has never been more inspired than she was while she watched Burke compete for the first time.

Chances: Coming off a World Championship, Turski will be one of the favourites in women’s slopestyle.
