Hannah Teter

I love riding halfpipe. This is an amazing job to have.

I snowboard because I love it. It's just a cool way to be out there and doing something different instead of going to college.

Riding is my passion, but a very close second is sun, sand, and surf.

I love stir-fries, quinoa, tofu, and tempeh!

I love the whole layout of Vancouver and the super-friendly people who live there.

When I see somebody fall in practice or get hurt, it almost makes me want to cry.

I've always felt really lucky and really privileged with my life, how I grew up, and the opportunities I've had.

The Special Olympics motto, 'Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt,' really speaks to me because it embodies exactly what I have pursued in my life. Really, that's all any of us can hope for - a chance to be brave and to pursue a dream.

I've been striving for attention my whole life. Now I have it.

I'm motivated to keep going to keep making a difference in people's lives.

Funny how one halfpipe run can change your life.

Every human life is worth so much.
