Alex Hall is basically the perfect image of a free skier. Born in Alaska, raised in Switzerland, and then moving to Utah, Hall is both active in competition and in filming. He won gold in slopestyle at the 2022 Winter Olympics and took 8th in the big air. He won bronze at the Aspen 2021 Slopestyle world championships, and he’s had ten career world cup podiums.
And that doesn’t even get into his X-Games success. He was the first male skier to medal in three disciplines at the same X Games in 2022. Overall, he’s won gold at the Norway 2020 Knuckle Huck, gold at the Aspen 2020 Big Air, gold at the 2019 Aspen slopestyle, gold at the 2019 Aspen slopestyle, silver at the Norway 2020 slopestyle, bronze at the Aspen 2022 slopestyle, bronze at the Aspen 2022 knuckle huck, and bronze at the Aspen 2021 big air.
