BEAVER CREEK, Colorado (Reuters) -- When the Alpine skiing World Cup shifts back to Europe this week Bode Miller will hit the road in style and comfort in his 'Bodemobile'.

Determined to eliminate as many distractions as possible so he can concentrate on ski racing and his main goal this season of lifting the overall World Cup title, Miller will be chauffeured from race to race in a customized motor home.

Runner-up to Austria's Stephan Eberharter in the battle for the overall crown last year, Miller may not yet be king of the ski world but the American is sure to be king of the road and the envy of his fellow ski racers.

The only skier to compete in every race last season, Miller faces a similarly grueling schedule this year. He will be chauffeured around Europe by his friend Jake in a motorized palace that will include all the comforts of home.
