Olympic News: Hannah Teter Wins 2006 Winter Olympic gold! At 15, Hannah Teter is fast making a big name for herself on the pro snowboard circuit. The 2002 World Junior Halfpipe Champion took 2nd in the slopestyle and 3rd in the quarterpipe at the 2002 US Open and, on September 13 in Valle Nevado, Chile, in her first World Cup Halfpipe event, she amazed all with a solid 4th. We caught up to Hannah, sister of pro rider Abe, up and comer Elijah, and Palmer Snowboards manager Amen, in between events for a little Q & A.
MZ: How long have you been snowboarding? Did you start off skiing and make the switch?
MZ: Do you still ski, too?
MZ: What would be your ideal day of riding? Where would you be and who else would be with you?
MZ: Have you always wanted to compete professionally?
Well, when I first started riding I don't think that I imagined taking snowboarding this far down the road, to where I am standing today. I think I would have liked the idea then, but it never came across my mind. It shocks me still today, the level I'm progressing to.
MZ: What's the most sketch moment you've had on your board?
