Bode Miller was already a dominant force on racing’s World Cup circuit before he found a pair of skis he really liked.
During the 2004 season, the New Hampshire native got a pair from Rossignol, his sponsor at the time, that were extremely stable and smooth yet also easy to turn—a trifecta that’s hard to achieve, especially in race skis. “My ability to adjust to terrain was miraculously better,” says Miller. “But from a design standpoint, I had no idea why this particular pair of skis was better than everything else out there.”
