BEIJING — In the winter of 1961, the Cochrans of Richmond, Vt., Mickey and Ginny, carved a small ski area out of the farm property they owned along the Winooski River, fashioning a simple tow rope to pull their kids up the hill. They were a ski family, the Skiing Cochrans, and all four of Mickey and Ginny’s kids would go on to become U.S. Olympians, with the second daughter, Barbara, winning the gold medal in slalom in the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, Japan.
