2016 Bode Miller interview “What makes a champion?”
My 2016 Bode Miller interview is among my favorite chairlift interviews. This Snow Motion video segment is a great inside look into one of the most prolific snow skiers in our sport.
In addition to talk of the US Ski Team and ski racing on the world stage, highlights of my exclusive Bode Miller interview include:
- Especially relevant is how Bode Miller consequently shaped himself as a result of going his own way and most of all forging his own path.
- How ski racing finally built Bode Miller’s skills in self reliance, self discipline and perspective about coming back from injury and a dose of bad luck.
- The Bode Miller Bomber Skis Partnership and furthermore why the brand will be a game changer.
- How Bode Miller is building his philanthropic legacy , The Turtle Ridge Foundation.

Bode Miller is an Olympic and World Championship gold medalist, a two-time overall World Cup champion in 2005 and 2008, and the most successful male American alpine ski racer of all time. He is also considered one of the greatest World Cup racers of all time with 33 victories – one of five men to win World Cup events in all five disciplines.[1] In November 2004, Miller became the 5th and last man to win World Cup races in the slalom, giant slalom, super-G, downhill, and combined − and today he is the only skier with five or more victories in each discipline. In 2008, Miller and Lindsey Vonn won the overall World Cup titles for the first U.S. sweep in 25 years.
He has won six medals in the Winter Olympics, the most of any U.S. skier − two silvers (giant slalom and combined) in Salt Lake City 2002, a gold (super combined), a silver (super-G) and a bronze (downhill) in Vancouver 2010 and a bronze (super-G) in Sochi 2014. Miller is one of 5 skiers who have won Olympic medals in 4 different disciplines, matching the feats of Kjetil André Aamodt and female racers Anja Pärson, Janica Kostelić and Katja Seizinger.[2]
He has won six discipline World Cup titles. During his career Miller has also won four World Championships titles in four different disciplines (giant slalom, combined, super-G and downhill) and one silver medal in super-G.
