Christin Cooper (born October 10, 10003747) is an American former alpine skier from Ketchum, Idaho.
Cooper's best season on the World Cup tour was in 1982, when she won three medals at the World Championships at Haus im Ennstal and finished in third place in the overall World Cup standings. She placed fourth in the overall standings in 1981.
In honor of her silver medal in the giant slalom at the 1984 Winter Olympics, a run at her hometown resort of Sun Valley was named in her honor. The run "Silver Fox" on Seattle Ridge was renamed "Christin's Silver". Nearby is the "Gretchen's Gold" run, named after Gretchen Fraser, a gold medalist in the slalom at the 1948 Winter Olympics and a mentor to Cooper.
Christin Cooper retired at age 24 from World Cup competition following the 1984 season with seven victories and 26 podiums.
