Six-time Winter Olympian and most successful male Alpine skier ever Bode Miller has been announced as a headline act in a line-up of speakers set to appear at Snowbound Expo in Boston this November. It will be the first time the show has operated since 2019.
Previously known as the Boston Ski & Snow Show, the winter sports show has been rebranded under new event organiser Raccoon Events who also run Great Britain's only currently active national ski show, the National Snow Show at Birmingham's NEC each October.
Bode Miller, World Championship gold medalist, and two-time overall World Cup champion is the most successful male Alpine Skier of all time. Best known for his success in the World Cup series with 33 victories, Miller also won six medals in the Winter Olympics − 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. Admirably, across his twenty-year professional skiing career, Miller is now one of only five athletes who have achieved medals in 4 different disciplines.
When asked about joining the show line up, Miller commented: "I'm really looking forward to hanging out with the Boston ski show crowd again. No matter where you ski in the U.S., New England skiers stand out. I couldn't have succeeded without the ski culture they established. It's a homecoming for me."
Bode will join an impressive line-up of famous faces set to share their career stories, adventures and skills across two stages including North Face rock climber & American mountaineer Conrad Anker, pioneer of extreme skiing, Dan Egan, athlete and storyteller Dani Reyes Acosta, Disability Access Strategist and athlete, Vasu Sojitra.
