Tanner Hall

Tanner Hall, nicknamed Ski Boss, is an American freeskier born on 26 October 1983 in Kalispell, Montana. He grew up skiing at Big Mountain, now Whitefish Mountain Resort, starting at age three, joined the freestyle ski team at ten to ski moguls and aerials, and at fifteen moved to Park City, Utah to pursue freeskiing. In 2002 he co-founded the ski company Armada Skis with JP Auclair and photographer Chris O'Connell. In March 2005 he broke both ankles attempting a switch cork 900 over a gap in the Wasatch backcountry, then returned in 2006 to win gold at both the US Freeskiing Open and the Winter X Games. He later lost slopestyle and superpipe titles to Charles Gagnier and Xavier Bertoni, and Red Bull ended an eleven year sponsorship in August 2012.
