Bode Miller is on schedule to make his first appearance back at Wengen and Kitzbuehelin for the speed events later this month. In November, Bode underwent a microdiscectomy surgery in the attempt to alleviate lower back pain.

“If my body feels good, maybe I keep skiing?” Miller said. “I’ve had a remarkable run and put my body through so much”

Without a clear cut answer wether he will be on the US Ski Team this year, the 37-year-old Miller is skeptical of his future. “They could name me to the team, though, and do some training runs. If I’m winning the training runs, then I could move forward.”

“Whether everything goes right, it’s a matter of luck and good fortune and being smart about it.”
