The 34-year-old is fresh from winning a silver medal in slalom at the World Para Snow Sports Championships in Lillehammer in January.
Actually, he is just fresh full stop.
The last two years have given the Wanaka alpine skier an opportunity to take a breather.
The world shut down for Covid-19 for a period and Hall was unable to leave New Zealand for a couple of years to compete overseas.
Life has also changed since his last Paralympic campaign.
Hall and wife Elitsa have a 3-year-old daughter, Gracelynn.
The trio normally travel together but Hall is lone-wolfing it this time.
"It is almost like your first rodeo," he said.
"It is going to be a completely different experience to the last ones with the Covid protocols and with the way the world still is.
"But a lot of our competitors probably think we’ve been locked up and not training for the last couple of years. But we’ve still be able to get some good training under the belt."
His recent silver in Norway suggests the veteran is still very much up with the pace.
Hall won gold in the slalom at the Vancouver Games in 2010 and gold in the slalom and bronze in the super combined in PyeongChang in 2018.
"I suppose there is always pressure when you are a reigning gold medallist. But the way I look at it is it is a completely different campaign, a completely different [course].
"What has happened in the past is in the past and it is a clean sheet.
"I just look forward to putting down my best performances."
It has been a great career. But when your age starts creeping up, you inevitably have to swat off retirement questions at an increasing frequency.
"My answer is always the same. At the moment the sole focus is just on the next couple of weeks ... and seeing what happens from there.
"I never thought I’d get this far into a career."
Hall, who was born with spina bifida, wondered whether the strain of competing would eventually tell on his body.
"But as it turns out it has not been a bad thing.
"I’m still seeking and seeing those improvements. You never really now how long you can keep pushing and going for.
"I’m still feeling pretty good. We’ve kind of had two years out of top competition and I’m still pushing for the top. I’ve had almost 15 years at the top which I think is pretty remarkable."
Skiing has been a huge part of his life and he would like to give back when he does eventually retire.
The development side of the sport has been set back due to Covid, and Hall has an interest in that area.
But right now he has a 3-year-old back home who is expecting him to return with some medals.
