Her knee was also affected.
On Instagram, the 24-year-old has now published pictures from the hospital and was combative, but the horror news does not want to end.
Alice Merryweather's story of suffering began last year when the American missed the alpine ski season due to an eating disorder.
She fought her way back and wanted to take off in the coming season.
Her plans were suddenly stopped by a serious fall in training in mid-September.
The pictures that Merryweather posted last week after her training crash in Saas Fee, Switzerland, are so intense that Instagram classifies the post as "sensitive content" and only shows it after a query to the user.
The shock photos are really nothing for the faint of heart.
