She was born in Hoboken, New Jersey[1] and attended West Milford High School, where she formed the school's first ski team.[3]
Weinbrecht's first sport was figure skating. While she was a competent skater, her family couldn't afford the cost of coaching. She learned to ski at Hidden Valley in Vernon Township, New Jersey and Vernon Valley / Great Gorge and spent most weekends skiing at Hidden Valley with her family.[3] The family now invested in skiing bought a house in Killington Vermont and Donna trained on the Mogul trails of Killington, especially The Great mogul trail Outer Limits . Donna can still be seen at Killington regularly hosting mogul training camps and recreational skiing .
