Charlotte found snowboarding at the age
of 11, and immediately began to make rapid progress through
the UK Junior ranks.
At Japan's '96 Junior World Championships she was spotted by
the legendary US snowboard coach Scott Palmer, who offered her
the rare opportunity to attend the famous Stratton Mountain
School in Vermont. Palmer's eye and Charlotte's hard work were
rewarded later that year, when she became the first British
rider ever to win prize money at the US Open.
At the following season's Junior World Championships, Charlotte
placed fourth in the half-pipe - the best ever result for a
British athlete. That year, she also won the British Junior
Championships in half-pipe, boarder-X and giant slalom, as well
as finishing second in the British Senior Women's Championship.
Since then, Charlotte has won the US National Junior Slalom,
represented Britain for the past five seasons, competed on three
World Cup Tours and pulled off numerous race and competition
wins.
