US skier home from hospital after escalator fall

PARK CITY, Utah — U.S. Alpine skier Cody Marshall returned home from the hospital less than two months after injuring his head in a 20-foot fall while sliding down an escalator railing.

Marshall says he is not setting any timetables on his recovery from severe head trauma.

Police say the 26-year-old ski racer was out with teammates when he fell off the escalator rail at a mini-mall. Police say the escalator was out of order and chained off.

Marshall, from Pittsfield, Vt., finished third in the slalom at the U.S. Alpine Championships this spring.
