Born in Seattle, Washington, Corrock skied as a youth at [Crysral Mountain] and later trained in Ketchum, Idaho at Sun Valley. She made her World Cup debut in January 1970 at the age of 18. Two years later, she won the bronze medal in the downhill at the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, Japan, the only podium of her international career.[1][2][3][4][5] She later finished ninth in the slalom event, won by teammate Barbara Cochran; three Americans placed in the top ten.
