American skier Stacey Cook of Mammoth, Calif., crashed in Thursday morning’s training run of the downhill.

There is no word yet on the extent of her injuries, but she was helicoptered out. She was conscious and moving.

The downhill training was delayed after her crash because of fog and snowy conditions.
