Tanner Hall, one of the winningest freeskiers in history, has announced he is retiring from the competition circuit.

Hall, who has won three back-to-back medals in both X Games slopestyle and superpipe, recently made the decision after breaking both of his tibial plateaus and tearing both of his ACL's after overshooting at jump at Stevens Pass in May while filming with TGR.

"I'm kind of over and done with the contest scene," Hall recently told ESPN. "I came in and it was ten good years of having fun. Now I think it's time for the next chapter in what I want to do and where I want to take skiing, so I'm going to be focusing on making more film projects."

    You are totally right. Our bad. Nice attention to detail. Keep the call-outs coming. They are good for our ego.
