Bode Miller rides a unicycle

Bode is the best skier i have ever seen, he should definatly try to stay
away from the press though... someone mentioned that he rode a while
back. Herman Maier does too I think...

I forget his name but *the* skiing guru (skiers will know who I am
talking about, apparently hes the Kris Holm of skiing) strongly
recommended unicycling as an offseason workout because it strongly
benefits core strength, leg strength and balance (all big in skiing).

I reckon theres a lot of skier-unicyclists.

I wasn't aware that The Herminator rode a uni. Makes sense though. I
think Daron Rahlves has logged some time on one. I've met him on a few
occasions and will probably see him at Steamboat next winter. I'll
ask him.

I got into unicycling (after a long absence) to strengthen my quads for
snowboard racing and obviously to help with my balance.

After unicycling, fencing is a breeze on my quads. I was keeping up with
the ROTC boys in fencing club no problem. I got quite a kick out of
that since I'm an almost over the hill mom!!

It's possible you're speaking of Andrew McLean, a
gnarliest-of-the-gnarly ski mountaineer with many first descents to his
credit. 'Here's his website.' (http://www.pawprince.com/). I have an
excellent book he wrote, describing and rating all the chutes in the
Wasatch Mtns. in Utah, called '\"The Chuting Gallery\"'
(http://tinyurl.com/j6ula)

In that book there's a quote to the effect of "It's a real kick skiing
a chute and passing technical ice climbers on their way up the same
pitch".

He was the subject,of 'this thread'
(http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40256) and also a
poster in it under the user-name "Unified".
