Tanner Hall's segment from the film 'Propaganda' by Poor Boyz Productions
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.
Inspired Media Concepts is a production studio founded in 2010 by professional skier Tanner Hall and filmmaker Eric Iberg. Born from the desire to create ski films that skillfully blend riding, music, and urban culture, the studio quickly made its mark with standout projects like Be Inspired, In Search, and Road to Zion. Until 2016, Inspired Media produced videos that highlighted style, creativity, and positivity, with a strong focus on aesthetics and soundtracks. Although the brand officially ended, its spirit lives on through Inspired Movement, a project revived by Eric Iberg. Even today, Inspired Media’s influence remains strong in freeski culture, serving as a benchmark for those who aim to combine technique with artistic expression.
