Summary

Tanner Hall is arguably the greatest all-around skier of our time. He’s a rare athlete who’s found success in the moguls, in the streets, in the parks, in the X Games, in the backcountry, in the movies, and on the Freeride World Tour. It doesn’t get more complete than that, and the crazy thing is that now, at 40, he’s skiing better than he ever has. While that’s a bold statement, when the new edit, XL drops this week, you’ll know what I’m talking about. On the podcast, we discuss his relationship, his injury list, XL, what the future holds, and much more. Wiley Miller asks the Inappropriate Questions.

0:00.0	Have a seat on your porcelain throne.
0:02.3	It's time to talk some shit on the Powell Movement.
0:13.5	Welcome to the Powell Movement.
0:17.1	I'm your host Mike Powell, and this week I'm going to do some more complaining about all the bad luck I've had lately.
0:23.2	All of you know about my wife, Ange, so I'm going to spare you the details about her condition this week.
0:27.9	What I will say, which I don't think I've made really clear, is that when she isn't feeling the side effects of treatment, she's doing awesome. She's going out with friends, drinking wine, shit, she's even going
0:38.5	to Vegas in a couple of weeks for BravoCon, and then she's coming back and taking
0:42.2	Keaton to see Travis Scott. So while things are dark, she's surely making the best of it.
0:47.0	I am too, but like I said, I just feel really unlucky in life right now on a weekly basis.
0:53.1	Take last week, for example. On Saturday, not one,
0:56.2	but both of my cars had dead batteries. Not a big deal. I have a jumper pack. Well, I break out that
1:02.0	thing and it's 100% dead. So I flagged down cars, I get a jump and I spend the majority of my day
1:07.6	doing car stuff because I'm seeing the cult in Portland the next day and
1:11.4	and I both need cars that are going to work. So I get that shit done and knowing that I'm going
1:16.6	to Portland in the morning, I went out and bought the club. Portland, well I used to think it was
1:21.2	incredible, is a scary shithole just like my city these days. Only in Portland, a lot of the homeless
1:26.8	people were wearing clown
1:27.8	makeup. I'm totally not kidding about that. I saw like 10 different people wearing it. I won't pretend
1:33.2	to understand why people who are living on the streets are worried about their clown makeup,
1:37.3	but it was totally weird, and I guess keep Portland Weird is still alive in some type of spirit,
1:41.7	on the streets at least. So based on my luck, I figure I'd get to
1:45.4	Portland, the cult would cancel, my car would get broken into, and I'd get COVID. But none of that
