DSC_4096.jpgThis is the webisode you've been waiting for all season. "The Massive" is finally up in Alaska, and Tanner Hall is ready to drop in to some heli-accessed powdery goodness. So kick back and put up your flip-flopped dogs, cause there's nothing quite like some fresh footage in the midst of the July heat.

And how about all these "Behind the Scenes" webisodes? By now we've giving you over a half hour of footage and interviews with Tanner Hall and all those behind the making of "The Massive" this past winter. Better than just a two-minute trailer, eh? Click here to go back and see them all.



Final.jpgAll the preparation and all the practice came down to one day, really. CP flew an A-Star fitted with a Tyler mount down from Seattle. Based on thoughts from credible sources, this was the first time Mt. Hood had ever seen a helicopter used for ski or snowboard shoot.

It's difficult to fathom what needs to go on for a heli shoot to be a success. The chaos is nearly indescribable. We sat on the in-run up by the skiers while the Red Bull Skiing team manager Pete did his best to relay commands from CP over the roar of the rotors sitting in the shotgun seat. Those little Motorola radios provided little more fidelity than indecipherable bursts of muddled shouting. Nevertheless as the heli dropped low over the top of the in run, and our gloves skipped away across the glacier like bunnies across a field, order somehow manifested itself from madness and the shoot was a resounding success.

P1010023.jpgThe last update we left you with a picture of mellow summer fun deep in the woods of Oregon. Tanner and crew had taken a few days to shred the public park, spread the stoke, and chill out at the spacious Red Bull Skiing house in Welches.

A few days later it was go time. The crew of Tanner Hall, Callum Pettit, Dana Flahr, Sean Fields, C.R. Johnson, Chris Turpin, and Frank Raymond cruised up the silent slopes of after-hour Timberline in a transport cat to survey the madness that Frank Wells and Jerimiah Pebley of Snow Park Technologies were pushing up out of massive amounts of snow. What they found was a hip with 90-foot long landings on two sides, seperated by a 17-foot wide deck.

Massive at Mt. Hood!

DSC_4677.jpgThe ski season is still alive and kicking in Oregon. Tanner Hall is taking full advantage of the 900+ inches of snow that fell on Mt. Hood this year, by having X-Games pipe builder Frank Wells push up a massive pile of snow for a season ending super feature at Timberline.

Just a couple days before the final shoot for "The Massive", Tanner is enjoying the quiet before the storm. The last few days have been mellow: skiing at T-Line's public park, a quick tramp and skate session at Windell's, and some tasty BBQ served up by local legend Justin Wiegand. Red Bull Skiing has a huge house down in the woods of Welches, and all the boys are up for this session. Sean Fields can't stop talking about all the fish he's going to pull out of the river behind the house. Callum Pettit made the push from Whistler with super photog Blake Jorgenson. Just hours before Dana Flahr, Frank Raymond, and Chris Turpin rolled in from the same leg despite the best efforts to thwart the mission from their GPS. The Provo brothers, Ian and Neil, arrived late last night and are armed with topo maps and fly rods at their camp down by the river. Sammy Carlson's house is just across the street, and ski-filmmaker Eric Iberg is omnipresent and fueling the stoke.
 
Davenport_PondellaHorizon.jpgA month ago Red Bull Skiing brought you news of Chris Davenport skiing four of highest and most famous peaks in the European Alps. These days, Dav can be found in Mexico funneling margaritas, but he took some time to regale us with the amazing story of his epic feat.

Equally amazing is his ski partner Stian Hagen's account.

Behind the Scenes: Tanner in Rehab

TannerRehab.pngTanner Hall's winter isn't all fun and games. Plagued by the injury to both his ankles he had a few years back, Tanner struggled this season with re-injuring his right ankle, which has more hardware in it than a bicycle. The drive to get back out in the pow and up to Alaska has him diligently attending physical therapy back in February. Come along with Tanner for an inside look at what he and tons of other professional athletes deal with in a regular basis.

240508VR01.jpgWhile much of the population enjoyed a relaxing Memorial Day weekend, Red Bull Ski Team members Tanner Hall, Grete Eliassen, Shane McConkey, Jeremy Nobis, and Daron Rahlves roared full-throttle for two days of parties and general madness surrounding the launch of the new Red Bull Cola. We attended exclusive parties day and night, went indoor skydiving, watched McConkey huck his meat off the MGM Signature Towers along with the rest of the Red Bull Air Force, and partied with athletes spanning most of the sports Red Bull is involved with.

Red Bull Cola is the first new product Red Bull has launched in 20 years. It's a premium cola made from 100 percent natural ingredients (no phosphoric acid, no preservatives, and no high fructose corn syrup). Red Bull Cola is not a cola-flavored energy drink, but it does contain a bit more caffeine than other colas, because it is flavored with coca leaf and kola nut, original ingredients when cola was invented.

See the madness in pictures here!
