Copper Mountain Event to Help Flight for Life Survivor

[Tricia]

Dave Repsher suffered burns over 90% of his body during a Flight For Life helicopter crash in Frisco on July 3rd.
He is still in critical condition at University of Colorado Hospital.

Copper Mountain has partnered with Dawg Nation to raise money to help offset some of the expense that have piled up for Dave's family.

@SkiNurse has followed this very closely and may have some information that I'm not aware of.

For you hockey peeps, Pierre Turgeon was involved, and Milan Hejduk and Derek Armstrong will be playing in the tournament. Unfortunately I am going to be out of town this weekend.

@Betsy Keyes, @dondenver, and others have also been following this really quite unbelievable story. If you're at Copper, please check out the event.

They raised $80,000! Wow.

That's big. Kudos to all who got out to make it happen!

Fantastic to see and so inspiring! Thought I'd pull this image out from the end of the video.

9News produced a fantastic 30-minute documentary about Dave at the end of last year. His skiing at all, let alone making nice tele turns, is just amazing! Way to go Dave!


A Summit Daily article had this truly staggering fact: ". . .medical bills have already hit $20 million and it’s estimated he’ll need another $40 million more worth of medical care over the course of his lifetime."
