Where's Bode this summer?


While it’s easy to find out what the U.S. Ski Team is up to, the top American male alpine skier might be a little more obscure these days. Sure, Bode Miller and his Team America will be front and center of newspapers once the season starts and he attempts to defend his overall crown, but for now, the outspoken World Cup Overall Champion is laying low. Having lost two of his coaches from last year, we know that Forest Carey will return and Bode has been hard at work in New Hampshire taking care of his organic farm and playing a lot of tennis. So while you may not hear about his exploits on the snowfields of New Zealand, he’ll surely be ready to race once the season starts. I don’t care if he says he’s 50-50 on whether he’ll race, he will. As long as he thinks he can ski well and win races, he’ll race, and for at least the foreseeable future, it will be without the backing of the U.S. Ski Team.

We know he was in NH last week for Bode Bash and in NZ the week before. Along with tennis he's been playing a log of golf including the World Ski and Golf Championships, the American Century Celebrity Championship in Tahoe and some others. He also made appearances at the Kentucky Derby and Indy.

He's a busy guy. His uniforms for this season are expected to arrive in the coming weeks. So yes, he'll be racing this year and we at KJUS and all his fans hope he's as successful this season as last.
