Barbara Ann Cochran (born January 4, 1951, in Richmond, Vermont) is a former alpine ski racer and Olympic gold medalist, who competed on the World Cup circuit for seven seasons. She retired from international competition following the 1974 season.
Barbara Cochran is a member of the famous "Skiing Cochrans" family, which has operated a small ski area in Vermont since 1961. The family has placed several generations of athletes on the U.S Ski Team (including Barbara Ann, nine-time national champion brother Bob Cochran, three-time national champion sister Marilyn Cochran, sister Lindy Cochran, nephew Jimmy Cochran, niece Jessica Kelley and nephews Roger Brown and Tim Kelley). Her father Mickey Cochran was a long time coach of the U.S. Ski Team.
Cochran now lives in her home in Starksboro, working hard on her own business, Golden Opportunities in Sports, a way to the mental side of competition. She is also working on a book that should soon be up and running. You can visit her website at bacochran.com.
