California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger broke his leg while skiing with his family Saturday morning, a spokesman said.
Schwarzenegger was taken to a local hospital for X-rays and was soon discharged with a fracture to his right femur, said Adam Mendelsohn, the governor's Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications.
Schwarzenegger would have surgery to repair his femur when he returns to Los Angeles from his scheduled Christmas trip, Mendelsohn said. The governor remained at his Sun Valley home Saturday night and still planned to spend the holiday there.

Could have been worse - could have hit a tree while trying to catch a football.

Oh.. ahh... geez, I just did the same thing on my mountain bike this summer and spent the rest of the summer recovering.
Great minds think alike I guess. Gotta send him a get well card :_)

Jeez. So sorry to hear that. I tore out my ACL in my knee skiing in Utah last week. Nothing like hearing something pop and experiencing pain at a level of 10 when you are out having a good time.

Chuck Norris would have kept skiing. Chuck Norris' leg would have broken the mountain.

Now he is an official Kennedy! However, given that he's also Arnold that tree must be hurting.

I've skied at Sun Valley on a Dapper Dan trip a few years ago.
The irony I see is the term "Break a leg" is said to actors. Hope he recovers quickly.
To: Kirkwood
Oh, Man I am so sorry to hear that you messed up your ACL.
I am 46, and I have been skiing for 40 years. I am worried every time I go out that my ACL will just pop. Hope you are back on the slopes before long.

"Chuck Norris would have kept skiing."
After blowing out my ACL I tried getting back on my skis to finish the run, but when my knee bent 90 degrees sideways, I knew I was out for the season. It is amazing what adrenalin and endorphins allow you to do (or try to do).

Orange Park, a suburb of Jacksonville.
I just moved back from St. Augustine (IMO a liberal hell hole).
