Bode Miller’s Early Life and Passion for Skiing
Bode Miller was born in 1977 in Easton, New Hampshire to Woody and Jo. He grew up in a remote area of New Hampshire in a log cabin without electricity or indoor plumbing. The family followed a strict vegetarian diet and the children were home schooled.
Bode developed a deep passion for skiing and had plenty of time to practice due to his homeschooling schedule. He eventually applied and was accepted into the Carrabassett Valley Academy, a prestigious skiing school in Maine.
Miller’s Early Career and Breakthrough Success
Bode Miller debuted in the World Cup during the 1997-98 season and participated in the Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, in 1998. He represented the US at the World Ski Championships the following year. Miller achieved his greatest professional success between 2001 and 2002, winning four World Cup races. He then went on to win silver medals in the combined event and giant slalom at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Bode Miller’s Skiing Achievements
Bode Miller won gold medals in the combined event and the giant slalom at the 2003 World Championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland. He also claimed silver in the super-G that year and came in second for the overall World Cup title. In 2004, Miller won six World Cup races but came in fourth for the overall title. The next year, he finally claimed the title by defeating Austrian skiers Hermann Maier and Benjamin Raich. Miller won two gold medals at the 2005 World Championships in Bormio, Italy, in downhill and super-G.
Although Miller was a favorite at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, he lost all five of his medal bids. He fared better on the World Cup circuit that year, winning two races and finishing third for the overall title. In 2007, Miller won the super-G title and came in fourth for the overall World Cup title. That year, he departed the US Ski Team to race as an independent athlete. Miller went on to notch his second overall World Cup title in 2008, a year that saw him win six races. The season after that was far less successful, and in fact was the worst of his career.
Bode Miller’s Skiing Career and Retirement
Bode Miller returned to the US Ski Team in 2010 after a disastrous 2009 and claimed his first World Cup win in close to two years. He went on to win three medals at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, including a gold in the super combined. In 2011, Miller claimed his final World Cup win, bringing his total to 33. He skipped the following season due to knee surgery and returned in 2014 to win a bronze medal in the super-G, becoming the oldest Olympic medalist in alpine skiing at age 36.
Miller attempted a comeback in 2015 at the World Championships but crashed and tore his hamstring. He sat out the 2016 season to spend more time with his family and focus on horse training. Miller officially retired from ski racing in late 2017.
