  05-12-2024 12:48 via powder.com
  
  If you took a Swiss army knife and turned it into a person, you’d probably end up with professional skier and Olympian Alex Hall.
  These days, skiers often gravitate towards one discipline, settling into a somewhat rigid category like street skier or competitive skier. For contemporary freeskiers, juggling film shoots and keeping up at the X Games and World Cup is rarer than it once was. But Hall remains fluid, excelling across mediums.Restless, a new video from Faction, examines Hall and p

  Sleeping Giant, a small ski area near Cody, Wyoming, and Yellowstone National Park has hit the market for $500,000.As far as ski area sales go, Sleeping Giant is a steal. The ski area costs less than many homes in the resort town of Jackson, Wyoming. According to Zillow, the average Jackson home value is $2,026,346.
