==Early life and career==
Born into a snowboarding family in [[Belmont, Vermont]], Teter is the youngest of five siblings. Two of her four older brothers, Abe and Elijah, competed for the US Snowboard team, and her eldest brother Amen is their agent and manager.<ref name="NBCbio" /> Both of the Teter parents, Jeff and Pat, were skiers, but have since been converted to snowboarding by their children.<ref name="teamusa" />
Teter started snowboarding at the age of 8, taking her first lesson at her home mountain of [[Okemo Mountain|Okemo]].<ref name="ussb">{{cite web |url=http://www.ussnowboarding.com/athletes/athlete?athleteId=1011 |title=Hannah Teter |publisher=US Ski and Snowboard Association |access-date=January 9, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100213095730/http://www.ussnowboarding.com/athletes/athlete?athleteId=1011 |archive-date=February 13, 2010 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> She is an Okemo Mountain School graduate.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.okemomountainschool.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=41:hannas-gold&catid=42:alumni&Itemid=67 |title=Hanna's Gold |access-date=September 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100315173410/http://www.okemomountainschool.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=41:hannas-gold&catid=42:alumni&Itemid=67 |archive-date=March 15, 2010 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref> By 2002 at the age of 15, she was the World Junior Halfpipe Champion, and had begun riding on the [[FIS Snowboard World Cup]] circuit. Teter achieved a 4th-place finish in her first World Cup halfpipe event at [[Valle Nevado]], [[Chile]], in September of that year.<ref name="MZ">{{cite web |url=http://snowboard.mountainzone.com/2003/teter/html/ |title=Athlete's Voice: Hannah Teter 15 and Flying |date=October 28, 2002 |publisher=MountainZone.com |access-date=January 9, 2010}}</ref>
Teter became [[Vegetarianism|vegetarian]] after watching the film ''[[Earthlings (film)|Earthlings]]'', and credits her [[plant-based diet]] as taking her to a "whole other level" as an athlete.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/avital-binshtock/hannah-teter-gold-medal-s_b_468137.html |title=Hannah Teter, Gold-Medal Snowboarder, Carves a Meaningful Life |last=Andrews |first=Avital |date=April 21, 2010 |website=HuffPost |access-date=September 12, 2017}}</ref>
==Professional career==
From 2002–2004 Teter competed in seven World Cup events with four victories, at [[Sapporo]] in 2003 and 2004, Valle Nevado in 2003, and at [[Saas-Fee]] in 2004.<ref name="FIS">{{cite web |url=http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/604/613.html?type=biog&competitorid=61112§or=SB |title=FIS-Ski Biography |publisher=International Ski Federation |access-date=January 9, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121019222945/http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/604/613.html?type=biog&competitorid=61112§or=SB |archive-date=October 19, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Competing at the [[Winter X Games]], Teter won bronze in 2003,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://expn.go.com/xgames/wxg/vii/s/results_snb.html |title=Snowboarding Final Results |date=January 30, 2003 |publisher=EXPN.com |access-date=January 9, 2010}}</ref> and gold in 2004.<ref name="NBCbio" />
In 2005, Teter reached the podium with a third-place finish at her first [[FIS Snowboarding World Championships|FIS World Championships]], and added two more World Cup victories at Valle Nevado.<ref name="FIS" /> Teter also earned another Winter X Games bronze in 2005.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.skatelog.com/x-games/2005/winter/2005-01-29-p.htm |title=Women's Snowboard Superpipe Final Results |publisher=SkateLog.com |access-date=January 9, 2010}}</ref> During 2005 Teter was hampered by a [[knee]] injury which required two surgeries; in her words: "there was a chunk of bone that had separated and it was kind of dangling around."<ref name="NBCbio" />
At the [[2006 Winter Olympic Games]] in [[Turin]], Teter was unsure how well she would be able to perform because of that injury. However, she went on to win the Olympic gold medal in halfpipe, beating out US teammate and friend [[Gretchen Bleiler]], who won silver.<ref name="NBCbio" /> Teter's accomplishment was rewarded further by the [[United States Olympic Committee]] who named her the [[USOC Athlete of the Year|USOC SportsWoman of the Year]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.teamusa.org/pages/874 |archive-url=https://wayback.archive-it.org/all/20100313115607/http://www.teamusa.org/resources/olympic-facts-figures/olympic-honors/usoc-athletes-of-the-year |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 13, 2010 |title=USOC Athletes of the Year |publisher=United States Olympic Committee |access-date=January 9, 2010 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> She also won the [[ESPY Award]] for Best Action Sports Female in 2006.<ref name="teamusa" />
After the 2006 Winter Games, Teter spent time focusing on humanitarian causes, but returned to the World Cup circuit in 2009. Since returning from hiatus she has taken the podium at two World Cup events and the 2009 Winter X Games, as well as a victory at the 2009 [[Lake Tahoe]] Grand Prix.<ref name="teamusa" /> At Grand Prix events held on January 22–23, 2010, at [[Park City Mountain Resort|Park City]], Teter had two second-place finishes. The performance locked up her spot for the [[2010 Winter Olympics]] in Vancouver. Following the Park City GP, Teter announced that she would donate her $10,000 winnings for the weekend to a [[humanitarian relief]] fund to aid survivors of the [[2010 Haiti earthquake]].<ref name="NBC12410">{{cite web |url=http://www.nbcolympics.com/news-features/news/newsid=400025.html#teter+donating+haiti |title=Teter donating to Haiti |date=January 24, 2010 |publisher=NBC/AP |access-date=January 26, 2010}}</ref>
At the [[2010 Winter Olympic Games]] in Vancouver, Teter scored 45.4 in the qualification round for the [[Snowboarding at the 2010 Winter Olympics – Women's halfpipe|women's halfpipe]], the second place score, earning her a [[Bye (sports)|bye]] to the finals. After the first run of the finals, Teter was in first place with a score of 42.4. In the second run, Teter's earlier score was topped by Australian [[Torah Bright]], who scored 45.0, a mark Teter was unable to beat in her second run. Teter finished with the silver medal. Fellow American [[Kelly Clark]] won the bronze medal.<ref name="NBC21810">{{cite web |url=http://www.nbcolympics.com/news-features/news/newsid=429017.html#bright+tops+teter+clark+halfpipe+podium |title=Bright tops Teter, Clark on halfpipe podium |date=February 18, 2010 |publisher=AP/NBC Universal |access-date=February 19, 2010 |archive-date=February 19, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100219103044/http://www.nbcolympics.com/news-features/news/newsid=429017.html#bright+tops+teter+clark+halfpipe+podium |url-status=dead }}</ref>
Teter finished fourth at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics in the Halfpipe event. She was fifth among US athletes in qualifying for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang and did not make the Olympic team.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Axon |first1=Rachel |title=2018 Winter Olympics: With most snowboarding spots locked up, big names miss U.S. team |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2018/01/23/2018-winter-olympics-most-snowboarding-spots-locked-up-big-names-miss-u-s-team/1060246001/ |website=USA TODAY}}</ref>
==Media and business ventures==
Before going to Turin for the 2006 Olympics, Teter was featured in the 2005 [[documentary film]] about the growth of snowboarding, ''[[First Descent]]''.

Teter was one of four Winter Olympic athletes chosen to model for the 2010 ''Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue'', in an "Olympic Stars" section of the popular annual magazine. Teter's photo shoot took place at [[Whistler Blackcomb]], the venue for several events of the Vancouver Olympic Games. Teter joined fellow snowboarder [[Clair Bidez]], and skiers [[Lacy Schnoor]] and [[Lindsey Vonn]] who also modeled for the issue.<ref name="SI 2010">{{cite web |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010_swimsuit/winter/hannah-teter/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100212091052/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010_swimsuit/winter/hannah-teter/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 12, 2010 |title=Hannah Teter – Sports Illustrated Swimsuit |date=February 2010 |publisher=Time Inc. |access-date=February 19, 2010}}</ref> While Teter and the other athletes received some criticism for participating in the photo spread, she responded to her critics saying: "I don't believe in the criminalization of bodies and women having to be ashamed of their bodies.
