The Red Bench Speaker Series presents, One-on-One with World Cup and Olympic Alpine Ski Racer, Ryan Cochran-Siegle on Thursday, November 16th at 7 PM via Zoom.

As the name suggests, Ryan Cochran-Siegle is a member of the legendary Cochran family. Ryan grew up training at his family’s ski area in Richmond, Vermont and with Stowe’s own, Mount Mansfield Academy. Ski racing in his DNA, Ryan made his World Cup debut in 2011 and most recently won silver in Super-G at the 2022 Beijing winter Olympics.     

During our conversation with Ryan, we’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. Peter, 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 US 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. Peter was named to the US Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame in 2021.  

Virtual doors to the Museum will open and the discussion begins at 7:00 PM. Please consider making a suggested donation of $10 to support the museum's mission to "Collect, Preserve, and Celebrate Vermont's rich skiing and snowboarding history.”
