Tanner Hall update? (Like a Lion spoiler alert)

I just watched Like a Lion, and I'm wondering if anyone knows how T Hall is doing these days, in terms of pills and alcohol. He's responsible for his own actions, but that shit is tragic. I hope he holds it together and comes back hard. Sick documentary--Iberg is the man.

i guess he's off them, as far as we all know. doesn't mean he won't go back to it, but i assume he's not using them at the moment. can't wait to see him get back this year

he's skiing again, which should hopefully help him stay off the booze. sounds like he's past it.. time will tell.

I hope Like a Lion can really change people's opinions on Tanner forever. I'll admit that I used to think Tanner was some idiotic asshole who didn't know how to act, but he's just another person with highs and lows like anyone else. Mad vibes and prayers to Tanner, skiing loves you just as much as you love skiing

I've yet to see Like a Lion but Ive always held T Hall in the highest regards.  He's like Michael Jordon imo.  We have Lebron James and others now but T Hall will always be respected by me.

yeah, Like a Lion completely changed my view of him. He's such an inspiration to our sport and we would not be anywhere near where we are today without T hall.

Stoked to hopefully see him back on the slopes this season

ya definently agree with all this i always thought Tanner was kind of a reckless idiot just acting like an idiot because he was rich and famous but after seeing the shit he went through and how the loss of cr affected him and everything made me see why he did that shit like i dunno what i would do if my bestfriend died but probably some pretty stupid shit as well

like a lion totally changed my opinion of tanner.

as a kid, he was basically an uncontrolled, unwatched douchebag with a lot of talent.

but it seems that as he refined his talent, some of the other stuff came into place, and as he started to get injured, it all fell apart.

but he seems to have pulled his shit back together, almost as if it was for CR.

+vibes to tanner, good luck with the recovery.

also, had a chance to talk to him for a minute at hood, seemed like a real nice guy.

from the front page news story, it sounds like he's got he shit going right these days. session with sammy to get double corks: NBD.
Then after getting stabbed with a massive needle by a mexican, TH is gonna compete again. I didn't expect that! Let's hope whatever poncho gave you is out of your system before Sochi 2014... nevermind the rest.
I find all the film/web/music projects to be pretty interesting. I'm so jealous of two months straight at Retallack, but I don't own a cat ski op because I slay so hard. and Cold rush is gonna be off the hook.

This is such good news to hear. I also just got back on snow after a crazy injury. Three months ago I was living in the U of U inpatient rehab center knowing I wouldn't ski for over a year. needless to say I've been inspired -
