DETAILS: First Lady Michelle Obama's Ski Getaway
ET ^ | February 21, 2011 | Lisa Hirsch

Posted on 02/21/2011 10:14:52 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

First Lady Michelle Obama and the first children, Malia and Sasha, enjoyed a weekend of skiing and celebrating in Vail, Colorado, and ET has exclusive details!

The First Lady and the girls stayed at the Sebastian Hotel, where they requested an early morning call every day so they could hit the slopes -- spending about 5-7 hours each day on the mountain!

The First Lady and her friends hit the spa, but the fun wasn't reserved for the adults -- Sasha, Malia and their friends had a sleepover where they played Wii and watched videos, and the girls also enjoyed swimming in the pool and lounging in the hot tubs.

For dining, Michelle and the girls visited restaurant Kelly Liken (which may ring a bell for "Top Chef" fans who remember Kelly from Season 7), had lunch on the mountain at Game Creek, and dinner at Sweet Basil.

5-7 hours a day?!

I would be out at 8:30 and wouldn’t leave until I was told the day was over. I have even taken the last lift and been told I would have to walk it out.

Good! I am happy to board all the way to the bottom and find an outside fire to warm my feet as I drink some wine or scotch.

Not a slam on MO or her kids. I just love being out there as late as I can.

Snow! Love it!

Best weather conditions for me.

“Do those poor girls ever actually go to school?”

Well, we can’t see their parents’ grades, so they’ll be spared the same embarrassment as well.

And yet, not one picture of Sasquatch on skis.

She has spent 7 hours a day on the slopes and not one stinking picture.

I don’t think she’s been on the hill once. Not when there’s free lobster to be had.

Vacation after vacation after vacation...

Luxury resort to luxury resort, all over the world.

Must be nice to have so many of our tax dollars to F around with while we desperately try to stay afloat.

More like 5 to 7 hours eating RIBS. No actual skiing ever took place. I doubt they know HOW to ski other than to go down the bunny slopes on their backsides.

Seems the mainstream media hasn’t taken ANY photos of the crew actually skiing. . . hmmmmmm.

And you’ll never seen any photos either because they don’t know how to ski and it would be way too embarrasing for the mainstream media to show them skiing down the bunny slopes on their giant posteriors.

Disgusting MOOCHelle and her entitled kids probably can’t ski. Where are the pictures of them on the slopes? They are sticking it into the face of Americans...that they hate. Years and years of listening to the “rev wright” racist BS (both parents and kids) has warped their shriveled equal-opportunity brains to hate you, hate your children and hate America. barry nobama stays “on the job” of destruction while his creepy grifter family spend more taxpayer money. DISGUSTING! the nobamas are a hate-crime on America. Would everyone who voted for these creeps please put you head in a vice and turn the handle until you hear loud cracking sounds?
