Ashley McCullough: Ashley was born and raised in San Francisco, spent 20 years in New York City, then moved to Bozeman nine years ago and never looked back. She was a professional athlete (and lover of Lycra®) in her early twenties (the kind that mostly equates to homelessness and starvation, save for the team’s “per diem” policy on the road February through October - women’s road cycling, I’m looking at you). After retiring from racing, she spent 18 years at Athleta as Copy Chief, building the voice of the brand all the way from its infancy into its corporate incarnation that you know today. She was a late adopter of the two plank life, only taking up skiing with the move to Montana. But she now skis six days a week in winter and would gladly give up spring and fall for four more months of winter. She is the proud parent of one almost 10-year-old daughter who is growing up with the full understanding that failing out of school is acceptable, but riding bikes and skiing are non negotiable.

Elizabeth first fell in love with Alpine skiing in fifth grade during Friday night bus trips in northeast Pennsylvania. A few years later, skiing took a back seat for a decade as she pursued basketball, eventually playing at Temple University under the legendary Dawn Staley in her senior year. After graduating from college, Elizabeth relocated to California and embarked on a 20-year career in finance at Dodge and Cox. She rose to the position of Vice President, working the graveyard shift to trade European stocks for 15 years. Eventually, she sought a change of pace and more sleep, and Bozeman became her family’s new home. Now, she’s passed her passion for skiing on to her South African husband, Jean, and their four children. These days, they’re the ones helping her refine her technique. With their eldest in graduate school in New Orleans, the rest of the family—Elizabeth, Jean, and their three youngest (whom she home schools)—feel incredibly fortunate to be involved with BSF teams and to have exceptional, well-maintained trails right in their community.
