A one-on-one with World Cup and Olympic alpine ski racer Ryan Cochran-Siegle will take place virtually on Thursday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. as part of the Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum’s Red Bench speaker series.
Cochran-Siegle is a member of the legendary Cochran family, and he grew up training at his family’s ski area in Richmond and with Stowe’s Mount Mansfield Academy.
Ski racing is in his DNA, and Cochran-Siegle made his World Cup debut in 2011 and recently won silver in super-G at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
During this conversation, he’ll talk about growing up in the Cochran family, what it was like to podium at the Olympics 50 years after his mother, Barbara Ann Cochran, did the same, what he’s doing now, and more.
Peter Graves will moderate this conversation. Graves, a Vermont native and Nordic skier, has dedicated his career to the sport. Over his 40-year career, he has served as a coach with the U.S. Ski team and head coach at Harvard for six seasons.
He is perhaps best known for his long career as a television and stadium announcer having covered 13 Olympic games. Graves was named to the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame in 2021.
There’s a suggested donation of $10 to support the museum’s mission. Register at vtssm.org.
