Born in Christchurch, she became the first person from the Southern Hemisphere to win a medal at the Winter Olympics when she won silver in the slalom at Albertville in France in 1992.

Coberger also competed at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer but did not finish her first run of the slalom.

In the 1992–93 season, she was the runner-up in the Slalom World Cup with just 6 points behind the winner Vreni Schneider.

Coberger finished competing at an international level a couple of years after her Olympic success (her last World Cup race was in March 1995).
