Stiegler done for season with broken bones in leg

VAIL (AP) - U.S. skier Resi Stiegler is out for the season after breaking two bones in her left leg in a crash during giant slalom training.

The U.S. Ski Team said Friday that Stiegler, a 2006 Olympian from Jackson Hole, Wyo., had surgery for fractures to her tibia and femur.

The injuries from Thursday's accident at Copper Mountain are the latest for the 24-year-old Stiegler. She was sidelined for more than a year after hurting her left arm and right knee in a December 2007 crash in Austria.

Stiegler returned in February 2009 and finished 19th in the slalom at the world championships. She fractured her foot a few weeks later.
