I always thought Bode Miller was extremely talented on his boards. A born skier I would say... I saw that again, not so much during the downhill portion of yesterday's super combined, but mostly during the slalom run that settled the final score. 
He was smooth, soft and flowing; the attacking mode was not obvious (the extra “juice” needed for that probably was no longer available) but he was keeping up with his equipment and remained in perfect unison with it. He and his short slalom skis were working together beautifully. In my view, this is the way skiing should work. We should be on a cloud, only point the skis where we want them to go, weight them right, remain feather-light and stay with them to get where we need to in the most effective, natural manner. Bravo Bode!
