Slopestyle shredder and big air maestro Alex Hall grew up in Switzerland, but calls Park City, Utah, home. He first made a splash in the skiing scene in 2015 when he earned two top-ten finishes at AFP Platinum-level events—competing against the big guns. Today, he’s a U.S. Olympic hopeful and he’s also globe-trotting with his sponsor, Faction Skis , bagging film clips and generally inspiring stoke everywhere he roams; I experienced this first-hand in April of this year when I ventured to Verbier, Switzerland, with Hall and co. to observe the making of Faction’s new team film, This is Home .
Here, we see all of Hall’s highlights from the film (plus extras that didn’t make the cut) packaged into a 2017 season edit. He performs an assortment of impressive stunts from Finland to Switzerland to the Czech Republic. In the latter location, Hall truly defies physics (4:30 mark) when he initiates a cork 360, yet contorts his body in such a manner as to only complete a cork 180.
Enjoy, folks!
And hey, p.s. Faction is giving away a trip to Verbier, Switzerland right now. Hurry, the contest ends soon .
