Shiffrin has 88 career wins after breaking Ingemar Stenmark's long-standing record 86 last season, when she also took 14 victories over the course of the year.
Miller, in Austria for the European launch of his Peak Ski Company's recreational skis, said it was not like Shiffrin was some flash in the pan.
Miller, who won 33 World Cup races in all five disciplines, said that carried risks but Shiffrin was different.
"For me, low on the priority scale is whether or not we can have World Cup races.
