Hannah Teter To Be Inducted To Vermont Hall of Fame

Hannah Teter is the owner of some top-tier accolades. Olympic gold medalist. World Championship Snowboarder. New Englander. Maple Syrup philanthropist.

You can now add Vermont Ski and Snowboard Hall of Famer to that list.

Teter will be one of four inductees. There will be three additional awards presented at the induction ceremony on October 18, 2025.

Cross-country skier Marty Hall, retailer Ned Hamilton, and ski racer Harry “Rebel” Ryan will be inducted alongside Teter.

The Paul Robbins Journalism Award will go to Gary Black. The Bill McCollom Community Award will go to Craftsbury Outdoor Center. The First Tracks Award will go to Noah Dines, who skied 3 million human-powered feet in 2024.

Teter was raised in Belmont, Vermont, grew up riding at Okemo and trained at Okemo Mountain School. She won the World Junior Halfpipe Championship at the age of 15 and soon after became the youngest member of the U.S. Snowboarding team.

She won a gold medal at the 2006 Torino Olympics. She then won the silver medal at the 2010 Vancouver Games, and finished in fourth place at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. She has won seven X Games medals and six World Cups.

She also launched a maple syrup company in 2008 called Hannah’s Gold, which used the money from sales to raise money for clean water projects in Kenya. Then she founded a charitable underwear company called Sweet Cheeks, which benefits children in poverty. She is one of the reasons for Unified Snowboarding making its debut in the X Games in 2015, as a longtime Special Olympics ambassador. In 2014, Teter became the first Action Sports Global Ambassador for the Special Olympics. She’s won the ESPY for the best female action sports athlete, the VH1 Athlete of the Year, and modeled for Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition.

Teter has since moved to South Lake Tahoe.

In 2024, fellow legendary Olympic snowboarder Kelly Clark was inducted into the Hall of Fame. The year before that, Suzi Rueck, who quite literally helped write the rule book on teaching snowboarding for the Professional Ski Instructors of America, was honored.

The museum is filled with legends that have shaped and molded snowboarding in one way or another since its inception. Jeff Brushie and Ross Powers were both inducted in 2013. Jake Burton Carpenter and Donna Carpenter were inducted in 2012. Former Snowboarder Magazine editor Pat Bridges was inducted in 2013 as well.
