New Zealand Paralympian Adam Hall has shown he's in good form with just over 50 days to go until the 2014 Winter Paralympics.

Hall's posted a podium finish in one of the few remaining World Cup events ahead of the Sochi Games in Russia.

The Otago adaptive skiier won the silver medal in the Super-G standing class at the IPC Alpine Skiing World Cup in Panorama, Canada.

In a field made up of athletes focused on winning Paralympic medals in March, including many of his main rivals in Sochi, Hall was just under two seconds behind the Austrian winner Matthias Lanzinger.
