However, four years later, Gretchen won the Silver Medal in the Halfpipe event at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, Italy and competed in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vanouver, Canada. Gretchen is joined by other snowboarding blond-haired hotties, Hannah Teter, Lindsay Jacobellis, Elena Hight and Torah Bright.

Gretchen's snowboarding success has landed her on the cover FHM magazine, and has done many photoshoots for Sports Illustrated, Foam Magazine, Glamour Magazine and she even participated in a photoshoot with professional surfer Anastasia Ashley for an Old Spice campaign. She's endorsed Coca-Cola and appeared on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. Gretchen does a lot of traveling and on one trip she rode horses with fellow American snowboarder, Elena Hight in Australia.
