Charlotte Dutton mixes being a pro snowboarder and coach, with being a high profile London fashion model. She began snowboarding at the age of 11 on a family skiing holiday, and after that she took every opportunity to practice. At just 16 having made rapid progress through the ranks of UK boarders she was spotted whilst taking part in the Junior World Championships in Japan, by the legendary US snowboard coach Scott Palmer, who offered her the rare opportunity to attend the famous Stratton Mountain School in Vermont - she jumped at the chance.
With hard work and determination she was rewarded later that year, becoming the first Brit ever to win prize money at the US Open. The following season at the Junior World Championships, against more experienced opponents, Charlotte achieved 4th place in the half-pipe, the best ever placing for a British athlete. Also that year she won the British Junior Championships in Half-Pipe, Border X and Giant Slalom, as well as finishing second in the British Seniors Championship.
