philfell Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 This past weekend Dave Tille (from hardbooter.com) and a really bad crash at Park City. He went off the trail and into the woods. Right now he lays in the UofU hospital with a broken femer and a shattered tib/fib. Please send Dave positive thoughts. If you are in the area and have some free time stop in and say hi, it would mean a lot to him. Billy or I will post more info when we find out more.

Jack M Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 My wife broke her leg once so I know it's definitely not fun. At least it was near the end of the season. Best wishes Dave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kriss Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 not to be morbid, but how did it happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdboytyler Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 I had a similar incident on Friday afternoon. I got stuck in a toeside carve and went off the trail. I just barely missed a snow gun. Luckily, I was able to scrub some speed before going off the trail and I still had some clearance before I would have hit any trees. I wish Dave a speedy and complete recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Randy S. Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Get better dude. I know the feeling (but mine didn't hurt as much at first I bet). One good thing: you got a longer season in than I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fin Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Just got off he phone with Dave at the hospital in Salt Lake City and he is in high spirits! He thanks his lucky stars that it was only lower body injuries and not the head, mid-section, or his trigger finger. I agree with him on that. What he told me was it was a great day (Sunday) at Park City when he zigged instead of zagged and ended up in the trees. Final damage was a broken right femur and a broken left tib/fib. Double wammy. No complications and the femur is already "bolted up" and they are going to fix the tib/fib in the next day or so. As a fellow femur breaker myself, the good news (gotta look for that when you can) is you fix-up just fine. He'll be on his road bike this summer no problem. Take care Dave!

Stainless Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I wish a speedy recovery for you Dave. I shall make no more complaints about the 'widdle cwack in my wist'.. (although, I do suffer to type this). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilledog Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Looks like I'm tryin' to take a dump standin' up!! Fin was accurate on the final damage toll. I have Surg. fri on the Tib Fib. Got sqeezed on skier's left by some touron's and ventured right a bit for turns. I didn't take enough space into account for mistakes however. Did get some brakes on before collision but Aspen aren't very flexible, unfortunately. Looks like about 12 weeks recovery time total with the Tib Fib. Should be able to get a bit done on the site in that time and ther'll be some thinkin' time for next years season, getting things shiny and new. Thanks for all the well wishers and we'll see you in the fall when the snow flies again!! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarvCanada Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 "going into surg" you're getting a metal rod? I have one of those :) from a tib-fib last season no problems with it at all, and I had almost completely recovered after about 6 months. it doesn't even activate metal detectors :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Dave Heal soon dude. I broke three ribs on my back in the trees like you did early last season, can feel your pain. Was able to get some good days in before the end of the season, so get some good rest and you'll be out diggin some trenches. aloha Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
