My Take
Barbara Cochran captivates me because her triumph is rooted in family soil. Born in 1951 in Claremont, New Hampshire, she came from the famous "Skiing Cochrans" of Vermont, a clan that has run a tiny ski hill in their own backyard since 1961, and from that homemade slope she rose to Olympic gold. A skier of just 154 cm reaching the very top says everything about grit, and the way her whole household lives for snow charms me completely. That she now coaches others feels like a fitting way to repay the mountains that made her.
