The family of the Sunshine Coast woman who died in a ski lift accident in Japan were by her side when she died in hospital on Sunday.

In a statement, her family says Brooke had recently completed an avalanche course and had used that training to help rescue four people in the last few weeks.

The Alex Surf Club where she worked and the Maroochydore Roos AFL club and Nambour Toads rugby club have all paid tribute to Brooke who played with them, along with numerous friends.
She’d spent four ski seasons in Japan.
