The U.S. Ski Team’s prospects at the upcoming Vancouver Olympics are looking up. That’s what happens when the most successful American alpine racer (31 World Cup victories) jumps aboard. After two years of racing on his own, Bode Miller announced his return to the Ski Team earlier this season.

Meantime, the gates are getting drilled for the Dec. 4–6 World Cup races on Beaver Creek, Colo.’s Birds of Prey, the only U.S. stop for the men’s tour. Let the Games begin.
