Welcome to the premiere of the Old Head New Head Podcast! Join hosts Eric Iberg (the “old head”) and Ethan Shafer (the “new head”) as they interview the most influential figures from both past and present generations.
Our first guest is Alex Hall. Alex is one of the most influential new heads in the game right now both in the competition realm and the streets. As of 2024, Alex Hall’s medal haul includes a gold in Men’s Slopestyle at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, plus golds in Men’s Slopestyle at the 2020 Aspen X Games and in Men’s Big Air at both the 2021 and 2022 Aspen X Games, alongside other podium finishes. His video resume is equally impressive being one of the members of the MAGMA crew, appearing in the Faction movies, and more.

Discussion with pro skier, X-Games gold medalist and Olympic gold medalist, Alex Hall.
Alex is one of the best and most well-rounded skier in the world right now. While the sport has gotten hyper specialized in the last decade, Alex thrives in so many aspects of the sport winning X-Games big air, Olympic slopestyle while also filming some of the best street skiing and backcountry videos in between competitions. Alex is a true freeskier at heart and it’s awesome to see him push all aspects of the sport.
In this episode, we discussed about everything that happened since our last episode together 2 years ago. Winning X-Games gold in 2022 with a switch 2160, going on to win the 2022 Olympics in China. Switching it up this season with a different mindset for competitions. Working on the soon to be released ‘Magma 3’ with friends Hunter Hess and Owen Dahlberg. Filming for Faction’s upcoming project ‘Abstract’. His recent push on social media regarding FIS’s pay of freeski events compared to other sports.

Alex is one of the best and most well-rounded skier in the world right now. He made a name for himself with his unique skiing that blends technicality with style and creativity and is now one of the biggest name in skiing. For most, winning X Games gold is a career goal and at 22 he has already won gold in 4 different X Games events (Slopestyle, Big air, Real ski and Knuckle huck).
It was a really great talk with Alex discussing many different subjects. We talked about his 2021 season, skiing in mammoth and riding some halfpipe, going to the Olympics in 2018, filming for his self-produced video projects ”Magma” and ”Magma 2”, the current state of slopestyle skiing, the mindset and strategy going into events like X Games and filming street for his incredible 2021 real ski video.

Alex Hall is an Olympic Gold Medalist for the USA in Slopestyle. Last year, most of his winter season was spent travelling and competing with the national team. He managed to find the time to connect with his friend, Hunter Hess, to produce the third instalment of their award winning ski film series, Magma. Alex tells us that dedication to the project can sometimes come at the expense of family holidays, but in the end, is absolutely worth it. In addition he gives his thoughts on “Spin to Win”, skiing Urban in the Mid West, the Eileen Gu effect and lots more.

Alex Hall has the world in the palm of his hands. In only a few years, Alex has gone from an up-and-coming Swiss kid to arguably the best American Slopestyle skier… What’s different about Alex is his basketball player height and the hunger he brings to the table. The best part about Alex is that he is a throwback… He’s the X Games Gold winner in Real Ski, in Slopestyle, and in Big Air but he always makes sure that he’s filming for something. And he’s just getting started.
