Bode Miller from Mayrhofen

Mayrhofen Im Zillertal, Austria - Bode Miller has said that he will race on the World Cup again next year, but has not stated whether he will ski at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. The Associated Press reports that Miller met Thursday with the team at Head Skis, the company that sponsors Miller, and told them that he will return to ski competitively next season.
"He's planning to continue," Head's racing director Rainer Salzgeber told The Associated Press. "I wouldn't have been surprised if he had told us he was taking the year off. But he said, 'No, I don't want to do that."'

After winning the overall World Cup title two seasons ago, Miller left the circuit early last season. There were still four stops to go when he announced that he was leaving in order to spend time with his 1-year-old daughter.
Miller apparently plans to race without coaches and will skip summer training. He also skipped talking about his return when contacted by the AP.

"I'm not going to talk about it. I don't have much faith in the media," he said. "Why don't you just skip that part of the story and write whatever you want to write because that's what you guys do anyway."
