Bocock Sisters to Make Historic World Cup Ski Racing Debuts Together

Bocock sisters, Mary and Elisabeth, to compete in season-opening giant slalom race in Soelden, Austria, making them the first siblings to debut in the same World Cup race since 1999.

• The Bocock sisters, Mary and Elisabeth, are set to make World Cup ski racing history by debuting in the same race, a feat not completed by siblings since the Simari Birkner sisters in 1999.
• Growing up, the sisters have always pursued activities together, from backcountry skiing to learning sports such as pickleball, spikeball and tennis.
• Mary and Elisabeth, who have contrasting styles on the slopes with the former being more tactical and the latter, more daring, have used their differing approaches to mutually improve their skiing abilities.
• Mary, a student at Dartmouth, secured her place in the season-opening giant slalom race in Soelden, Austria, by winning the overall title on the NorAm circuit, a stepping stone for the World Cup, while Elisabeth, a recent high school graduate, was later confirmed to participate in the same event.
• Both sisters aspire to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics, a goal they share together along with their love for skiing inherited from their parents, with mother Amy Sullivan having been a ski racer at Williams College and their father, Alex, being a recreational skier.
