Donna Weinbrecht
Donna L. Weinbrecht won the first gold medal awarded in the first Olympic mogul competitions in freestyle skiing, which were held at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France. Weinbrecht grew up in West Milford, New Jersey. She was also World Champion in 1991 and a five-time World Cup moguls season champion.
She was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, and attended West Milford High School, where she formed the school's first ski team.
Weinbrecht's first sport was figure skating. While she was a competent skater, her family couldn't afford the cost of coaching. She ended up skiing with her family at Hidden Valley in Vernon Township, New Jersey.
