Resi Stiegler’s comeback season, and run at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, is over.

Stiegler’s injury-prone ski racing career took another unfortunate turn when it was announced the Jackson native will miss the 2010 ski season — and 2010 Winter Games — after suffering multiple fractures of her left leg in a crash while training Thursday in Copper Mountain, Colo.

Stiegler underwent surgery Friday at Vail Valley Medical Center to repair a fracture to her left tibia and femur, and the injuries will require surgical intervention.

“This was a serious injury for Resi, but her spirit is strong,” U.S. Ski Team medical director Richard Quincy said. “One of the first things she asked was if she could be ready for on-snow camp in New Zealand next summer.”

Pepi Stiegler, Resi’s father, talked to his daughter by phone after the surgery.

“I talked to her this morning after her surgery,” he said. “But it was hard to tell how she was doing because she was still a little bit sedated.”

Stiegler crashed Thursday after her ski hooked a gate during giant slalom training. She was taken off the mountain on a gurney by Copper Mountain Ski Patrol, U.S. Ski Team coaches and trainers and taken by ambulance to Vail Valley Medical Center.

The injury occurred just more than a week before the upcoming Aspen Winternational, the only women’s alpine World Cup stop in the United States.

Stiegler, 24, has battled injuries since competing in the 2006 Games in Turin, Italy.

In December 2007, she fractured her left arm and tore ligaments in her right knee in a crash in Lienz, Austria. Stielger then suffered a fractured right leg while playing soccer in the summer of 2008.

Stiegler was training for an attempt at making the 2010 Olympic team and was excited about her “comeback” season.

Pepi Stiegler said his daughter could be released from the hospital over the weekend or by early next week.

Doctors took advantage of the surgery to also remove the metal plate inserted into Resi’s fractured left arm in 2007, Pepi Stiegler said.

There was no longer a need for the metal plate since the fracture has since healed, he said.
