For many this weekend, those dreams will become reality. Miller, considered to be the greatest American male alpine ski racer in history, is the featured professional for the eighth annual Audi Ajax Cup, the largest fundraiser of the year for the Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club. Saturday’s modified dual giant slalom will feature 16 teams going head to head on the course built on the Little Nell trail at the base of Aspen Mountain.
The festivities got underway Wednesday at Casa Tua in Aspen, where team “Kids First!” paid $70,000 — split equally between the AVSC and Miller’s own Turtle Ridge Foundation — to purchase Miller as its pro for Saturday’s competition.
