	Athletes - Hannah Teter

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

Hannah hails from a famous snowboarding family. Her older brother Amen is a professional snowboarder and full-time manager and agent for Team Teter. 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 but he sometimes ski blades for fun. Both of the Teter parents, Jeff and Pat, were skiers, but have since been converted to snowboarding by their children. Hannah dates Eli Lieberman, the lead guitarist from a little known reggae group, Strive Roots.

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

Before she went to Turin, Italy to compete in the 2006 Olympics, Hannah featured on a documentary based upon the amazing, and sometimes controversial evolution and growth of snowboarding, "First Descent".

Off the Pipe

Hannah has other interests when not snowboarding, such as skateboarding, surfing, soccer and jumping on the trampoline. Amongst Hannah's competitive, daring and rather affable attitude she also enjoys to relax with candles and read spiritual books. She loves to spend time to reflect on how "super-blessed" she is to be a well known, world champion snowboarder and says "To have a passion for something, put so much into it, and then receive it back is so great".
