BODE Miller has cut short his World Cup ski season for the third consecutive year and it's uncertain whether he'll be back next season.
The former two-time overall World Cup champion has again decided to spend more time with his daughter in San Diego, the US Ski Team said yesterday.
Miller failed to finish in the top 10 in his four events at last month's world championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. He then skipped the last two World Cup stops in Bulgaria and Slovenia.
The US team had been expecting him back for this weekend's races in Kvitfjell, Norway. The 33-year-old ends the season with three podium finishes but no victories.
Miller won a full array of medals at last year's Vancouver Olympics but said he struggled with motivation.
"If the conditions are good and everything comes together then I'm pretty into it, but sometimes it's hard to get really fired up for it," Miller said after his final race at the worlds. "I'm still always fired up and I always charge, but it's not the same as it should be. If you're racing World Cup and you're risking your health and everything you should be in it 100 percent. If it's not then you have to have the discipline and maturity to say when, because you probably shouldn't be doing it. I've seen guys get hurt."
