The U.S. Ski Team announced its roster for world championships next week in Beaver Creek, Colorado, and all the big names were on the squad, including Bode Miller as he tries to return from back surgery.
Lindsey Vonn made the team, of course. So did Mikaela Shiffrin, Julia Mancuso and Ted Ligety, who won three titles at the 2013 world championships in Austria.
Miller has yet to compete in a World Cup race this season after having a herniated disk repaired in November. His race status for Beaver Creek still remains uncertain.
The 37-year-old recently took training runs in Switzerland and Austria, before skipping the races.

Vonn will be a heavy favorite in the downhill and Shiffrin in the slalom, an event the teenager won at the Sochi Olympics.
