Cochran is the youngest of four siblings of the "Skiing Cochrans" family of Richmond, Vermont, whose parents built and operated a ski hill in their back yard.[1] [2] [3] Named to the U.S. Ski Team in 1970, Cochran competed in the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck and finished sixth in the slalom[4] and 12th in the giant slalom.[5] She finished 14th in slalom at the World Championships in 1974 at St. Moritz, Switzerland.
