Tanner Hall

Tanner Hall (born October 26, 1983) age 25, of Kalispell, Montana is a freeskier. In an attempt at his fourth straight Winter X Games gold in skier slopestyle he was upset by Charles Gagnier.

In March 2005, Hall was severely injured in an attempt to switch 900 over the infamous 136 foot Chad's Gap, coming up short on the high side of the landing and fracturing both ankles and heel bones. He said about his injury, " It felt like bombs going off in my boots." His career is managed by his father Gerry Hall.
