Hannah Teter:

Hannah Teter (born January 27, 1987) is a female snowboarder from Belmont, Vermont, in the United States, known for her consistent and technical riding in the halfpipe. She won a gold medal in the women's halfpipe competition at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy.

Teter hails from a famous snowboarding family. Her older brother Amen is her agent and manager who works for an agency called Octagon. Her brothers Abe and Elijah currently compete with the U.S. snowboarding team. Hannah has another brother, Josh, who is mildly autistic and does not snowboard. Both of the Teter parents, Jeff and Pat, were skiers, but have since been converted to snowboarding by their children.

Teter started snowboarding at the age of 8 in an attempt to follow in her older brothers' footsteps. She enjoyed hanging out with her brothers, but felt left out when they were snowboarding and she wasn't. Teter took her first lesson at her home mountain of Okemo.

Teter is considered one of the world's best competition snowboarders and is well known for her excellent amplitude and progressive riding in the halfpipe. Hannah has been featured in many competitions, including the X Games, Grand Prix, US Open, Worlds, Winter Olympics 2006 and the Winter Gravity Games.

Before she went to Turin, Italy to compete in the 2006 Olympics, Teter was featured on the 2005 documentary about the growth of snowboarding, First Descent. The movie was filmed in the mountains of Alaska. Teter starred alongside snowboarding legends including Shaun White and Terje Håkonsen.

Gretchen Bleiler, who has competed against her in many competitions, including the olympics and the Winter Gravity Games, is Teter's good friend and team mate.

Hannah has a charity called Hannah's Gold, where she sells Vermont Maple Syrup. When growing up, she used to help her dad collect sap that he would boil down to make into maple syrup every spring. The proceeds of the charity go to World Vision to help feed hungry children in Africa who have been orphaned by AIDS.

She is active in other charities, including raising money for causes such as Darfur and acting as a spokesperson for Boarding for Breast Cancer.

Teter has appeared on entertainment shows such as ManiaTV! and The David Letterman Show, where she has been interviewed.
