Canadian ski icon Steve Podborski said yesterday his friend, fellow ''Crazy Canuck'' Dave Irwin, is showing encouraging progress but remains in critical condition on life support after a ski accident last week. ''We don't expect a quick recovery,'' said Mr. Podborski. ''It will take a long time.'' Mr. Irwin, 46, suffered what his doctors described yesterday as a ''significant brain injury'' from a crash at a ski event in Banff on Friday. He has been comatose since the accident.
