Bode Miller is one of the best downhill skiers ever to ski the FIS World Cup. He won 2 silver medals in the 2005 Olympics. But she won't be returning this year.
2nd answer: Bodie is a "he". He is one of the few skiers to have wins in all of the alpine events-slalom, giant slalom, super gs, and downhill.
It is possible to purchase Alpine subwoofers in a shop that sells speakers for cars. They can vary in prices so it will be wise to compare different stores before you're final purchase.

Downhill (Alpine) ski races are usually day long event. Typically you will have either slalom or giant slalom all day long. You will need to different skis and equipment for each length.
Let's say it's a day of slalom racing. Slalom racing is when the gates are closer together. Ski racers want to have the fastest time so they try to ski as straight a line down the ski slope as they possible can. This means that they will hit the gates with their shins. The gates are "breakaway" so they will hit the ground and bounce back up. (You drill a hole into the snow and screw the gates in to begin with.)
Here is a typical schedule:
7:30-8am Arrive at the ski slope8-9am: Warmup runs - practice runs through a "practice" slalom course9-9:30am: Slalom course inspection. You are not allowed to ski through the "race" course. You have to slide down the hill with your skis horizontal to the hill. It's called "slipping the course". There are separate courses for each run.9:30-12: Take your first and second run. Races consists of 2 timed runs through the course. Your two times are added together for your total race time. The fastest time wins.
12-1pm: Lunch1-1:30: Slalom course inspection1:30-4pm: Second slalom race consisting of 2 runs
Sound confusing? It's really not once you get used to it. There are various other rules you need to follow. Plus you have to wear a number called your "bib". The order in which you ski varies as well. The second run order is based on your first run time...I'll stop with the rules. Attend a race to find out more!

Where the binding is mounted is all about personal preference.
If you ski terrain park, a center mount could be more your style, where as if you ski all mountain, you may wish to mount farther back. Many skis come with a "recommended" line. You may wish to go from there. If you have further questions, any tech at your local ski shop should be able to answer all of your questions, and mount the bindings for you!
Skiers must use the wax that is best suited for the temperature on the day they wish to ski. Each different color of wax represents a different temperature range. Use the color that matches your temperature range. Read the packaging to see which colors represent which temperature ranges.
