The 2013 slopestyle world champion, and eight times X Games gold medallist, was considered one of the sport's pioneers and trailblazers although she never made an Olympic podium.
Turski was a hot gold medal favourite at the 2014 Sochi Games but, coming back from knee surgery, dislocated her shoulder in her first qualifying run and failed to complete the second.
The 29-year-old Canadian was dogged by injuries throughout her career including several concussions that have left her battling chronic headaches.
"I’ll never forget the rush in the start gate, ready to give it my all,” said Turski, in a statement from Freestyle Canada.
