THC

Tanner Hall drops THC (Tanner Hall Collection).  Yeah you know it...Tanner Hall is back on skis and you can see it.  The first lookat at Tanner's new webisode series, the Tanner Hall Collection (THC) dropped Thursday night on Tanner's site InspiredMedia.tv.  The edit shows T slicing up Utah pow and getting thrown off kickers....some people thought they might never see the great T hall shred again.

Tanner isn't competing in Winter X, but he is for sure in Aspen chillen with the homies.  He is promoting Inspired.  Inspired puts out a weekly radio and web tv show.  RASTA BABY

Ashleigh McIvor Ski Season Over :-(

Ashleigh McIvor, a Whistler Ski Cross racer, has torn her ACL.  She was training for the X Games in Aspen, CO and blew her ACL out then and there.  She blew the same knee out (ACL in the left knee) in 2005.  Fortunately for McIvor...she was able to win an Olympic gold medal for Canada.  Good luck on the recovery McIvor and we hope to have you back out there.
