Lara Gut, Lasse Kjus and Bode Miller – the KJUS ski-, golf-, outdoor- and spirit collection is tested by the best athletes in the world. We can rely on the experience and direct input of world champions and world cup winners.
We continuously take their valuable feedback and put it straight into our product development, which is why our skiwear is the best on the market. And while the current winter season is still ongoing, our development team headed to Crans Montana last weekend and introduced the newest prototypes of our upcoming winter collection 13/14 to Bode Miller.
Bode met with Nico Serena (Head of Design & Product Development) and Ken Kurtzweg (Product Manager Skiwear & Outdoor) to talk about the newest innovations and developments. And Bode spared no efforts to test and discuss everything in detail, providing valuable input and sharing his ideas. We are proud to push our limits further on with the support of Bode – which permanently helps us to improve our collections.
While having lunch we had the chance to talk to Bode about the long World Cup season and why he prefers to live in his personal motorhome. He’s one of a few riders in the World Cup choosing the comfort of a mobile place to call home over impersonal hotel rooms. And isn’t the thought of waking up in your own bed instead of a different hotel room every few days, a quite appealing one?
Bode is currently handicapped due to a knee injury that forced him to quit his current World Cup season but couldn’t keep him off from skiing with us and testing the new prototypes on the slope.
