Already recognized as one of the greatest American alpine racers of all time, Bode Miller received further acknowledgement of his talents on Saturday when he was inducted into the United States Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame as a member of the class of 2025.

Miller’s wide-ranging ski racing accomplishments include six Olympic medals, 33 World Cup victories, and 79 World Cup podiums.

During the ceremony in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Miller joined 13 other athletes, sports luminaries, and Olympic teams. They included Nike co-founder Phil Knight, tennis player Serena Williams, and the American four-man bobsled team that won gold in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.

“It feels amazing to be up here and have a great class to be inducted with,” Miller said in his speech at the induction. “I very much appreciate it.”

Raised in Franconia, New Hampshire, Miller debuted in the World Cup in 1997 in Park City, Utah, finishing 11th in giant slalom. He earned his first Olympic medals—a silver in the combined and giant slalom, respectively—at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games.

Throughout his career, Miller was known as a maverick who liked to live on his own terms. As a racer, he often pushed his limits, testing the line between control and a spectacular crash. “I continually pushed way past what my ability would allow me to do at the time, which looked terrible, but it was fast if I could make the finish,” Miller said in a 2022 interview at the SnoBound Expo in Boston, Massachusetts.

“I know my body and knew that I could deal with crashes better than most people,” he added. In 2017, Miller announced his retirement from ski racing at age 40. With competing behind him, the Olympian has participated in several business ventures, including Bomber, Aztech Mountain, and Peak Skis.

The latter business has faced recent controversy. The Colorado Sun reported earlier this summer that Peak Skis had collapsed and failed to pay some of its high-profile freeskiing athletes fully.

Miller attributed the closure of Peak Skis’ Bozeman, Montana, headquarters to rising operational costs and said some investors didn’t provide the funding to the company they had committed to, The Sun reported.
