Community mourns 'The Ice Skating Sisters' after Potomac crash

Known online as "The Ice Skating Sisters," Alydia and Everly died with their parents in the mid-air collision over the Potomac this week.

ASHBURN, Va. — It was the only house in the cul-de-sac with a skating rink in the backyard.

When the freeze set in, Peter Livingston would anchor two-by-fours in the ground behind the house, fill the space with water and create a rink where his figure skating daughters, Alydia and Everly, could practice their jumps and lutzes, a neighbor said.

But the real home ice for the girls was the Ashburn Ice House. Their mother, Donna Livingston, was a fixture at the early-morning practices where her daughters trained with world-class figure skaters like Inna Volyanskaya.

They were known online as "The Ice Skating Sisters," and when they crisscrossed the country for competitions and camps in places like Boston, Seattle and Austin, Texas, their parents went with them, friends and neighbors said.

It was no different when Alydia and Everly were invited to participate in a prestigious training camp following the 2025 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita, Kansas.
