Bode Miller Announces Return of Embattled ‘Peak Ski’ Brand

January 15, 2026

After the company collapsed earlier this year, Bode Miller just announced that he is relaunching Peak Ski Company — and his past athletes and contractors aren’t stoked.

Bode Miller’s Peak Ski Company is back, after temporarily shuttering amid a storm of controversy, lawsuits, and industry outcry.The company’s website went dark in early June 2025, and its Bozeman offices were closed shortly thereafter. Paychecks allegedly stopped, people were left hanging, and both Miller and his business partner, Andy Wirth, ceased communication with contracted athletes, many employees, and staff.

Now, though, the company is relaunching. The website is up and running again. And Miller posted to Instagram on Jan. 13, announcing that “2026 Peak skis are LIVE!”

In a subsequent post, Miller acknowledged his missteps and thanked his supporters. “We are working diligently to clean up a mess that we didn’t intend to create and at the same time, learning from our mistakes so we can bring you the best skis on the market,” he wrote.

GearJunkie spoke with Chris Davenport and Michelle Parker, two world-class big mountain skiers who signed on with Peak Skis around the time the company started in 2022. Both athletes claim Miller owes them a lot of money. Davenport said he hasn’t seen a paycheck since early 2024. They filed lawsuits against Miller as a result.

Parker responded to one of his Instagram posts about the relaunch of Peak Skis.

“I appreciate you publicly stating that there are plans to address outstanding debts,” Parker wrote. “However it would be appropriate to communicate directly with those of us who are owed before making such claims. It has taken significant restraint not to speak out more broadly about this. With all due respect, please advise how these outstanding obligations are being handled.”

GearJunkie reached out to Miller numerous times for comment on both the accusations made by Davenport and Parker, as well as the relaunch of Peak Skis. He has not responded to one of our inquiries. Gear Junkie
