Personal life

Hall credits much of his rising enthusiasm for the sport to attending Zurich’s annual ''freestyle.ch'' ski event with friends and older brother, Aldo, a snowboarder who also served as his first videographer while helping him secure initial sponsors that included Surface Skis, Panda Poles, Shred Optics, and Slytech.

was a collaboration with his brother. His parents, Elena Conti (an Italian citizen from Bologna) and Marcus Hall (a U.S. citizen from Salt Lake City) are both professors at the University of Zurich. When interviewed by USA Today in 2022, Alex Hall noted that he holds both Italian and U.S. passports, and once even talked "with Italian coaches about potentially competing for them" but that after moving to Park City at 16 he quickly realized he wanted to ski for the U.S. Alex Hall’s multi-country background means that beyond English, he speaks fluent German and Swiss German, and intermediate French and Italian. As a middle schooler at the Inter-Community School Zurich, Hall was voted Most Valuable basketball player, and for a stint he played goalie for the youth division of Zurich’s professional soccer club
