BIOGRAPHY:
Golden girl Hannah Teter is known for many things. Whether it's making the 2006 Olympic squad and winning the gold medal, her Hannah's Gold maple syrup that benefits a village in Africa, or her follow-up Olympic performance in 2010 where she nabbed silver, chances are you've heard of this Teter girl. Teter took a step back from the competition scene in 2011, making only one appearance at the Burton U.S. Open where she took silver, but she'll be back full force in 2012.
HANNAH SAYS:
This past season was a reminder that in order to perform 100 percent, you have to give 110 percent. I started the season off with the mind-set that 2011 would be a recovery year and I would work on tricks and not compete too much, which left me hungry at the end of the season, and wanting to turn up the heat more.
FIRST TRACKS:
In a family with three snowboarding brothers, the hand-me-down was essentially a given, and Hannah started riding at age 8. She took her first lesson at her home mountain of Okemo because her brothers "were someplace else on the mountain" and didn't want to hang out with their little sister.
OFF THE SNOW:
Hannah is always busy making her home-grown maple syrup. The bright-eyed rider lives in Tahoe but spends a lot of time surfing in Costa Rica. Teter supports Boarding for Breast Cancer by rocking limited a limited edition helmet from R.E.D. and goggles from Anon.
