Tanner Hall
Tanner Hall, nicknamed “Ski Boss,” was born in 1983 in Kalispell, Montana. A true pioneer of modern freeskiing, he made history by winning seven X Games gold medals between 2000 and 2008 in Big Air, Slopestyle, and Superpipe, becoming a living legend of freestyle skiing. He co-founded Armada Skis in 2002 and helped shape ski filmmaking through his studio Inspired Media Concepts, producing iconic films like Retallack and Like a Lion. His career was marked by two major injuries: a double ankle fracture in 2005 and serious knee damage in 2009, requiring years of recovery. Despite these setbacks, Tanner returned to the top, winning more titles and taking on the Freeride World Tour, where he quickly achieved top-10 finishes. Now over 40, he continues to deeply influence ski culture with his style, creativity, and visionary spirit.
British Columbia
British Columbia, a province in western Canada, is known for its vast mountain ranges and a history deeply tied to forestry and mining, before becoming a top outdoor tourism destination. As early as the 20th century, local pioneers explored snowy peaks, paving the way for strong alpine and backcountry skiing development. The province has nurtured or attracted great skiers and freeriders like Mike Douglas and Sammy Carlson, drawn by its exceptional snow quality. Among its flagship destinations are Whistler Blackcomb, one of the largest ski resorts in North America, Revelstoke famed for massive vertical drops and backcountry access, as well as Fernie and Kicking Horse with their technical slopes and deep powder. The Nelson and Rossland areas are also famous for their freeride culture and intimate resorts. Thus, British Columbia is today a true paradise for ski enthusiasts, whether seeking groomed runs or wild backcountry adventures.
