It could be up to six weeks before doctors treating famed Canadian skier Dave Irwin are able to detect any signs of improvement, health officials warned Monday. Irwin, 46, remains on life support and comatose at Foothills Hospital in Calgary after tumbling down a training run at the Sunshine Village ski area on Friday.
