I wonder if the lift chair was wide enough for the girls to squeeze in with mom.

Vail was a big thing because of President Ford here in the South. Until his skiing at Vail got national coverage, Aspen got all of the ink here.

Like they’re really going to issue the first wookie a ticket and have it scanned in. I’m sure they probably threw all the peasants out so no one would would be there to watch her big ASSets taking out half the mountain.

Nice seeing Sasha smile like a regular kid. But Mom...what an ugly sourpuss. Looks like she’s afraid the snow is going to make her melt. Hmmmm....

"Vail is arguably one of the poshest places in north America to ski. "

Nearby Beaver Creek outranks.

Of course Aspen is for the Kennedys and not really much farther.

The skiing at Vail is worth it though.

Where are the helmets for Michele and the girls.

excellent observation

we need to contact the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Ralph Nader, OSHA,the Insurance Highway Safety Institute, and any other nanny-staters we can think of.

Forecasters are warning backcountry travelers that “weather conditions this week could bring more deadly slides” after heavy early season snow followed by periods warming, and more heavy snow and extreme cold and wind coming in tonight.

Bigfoot sightings have also been reported in the Vail area.

What did this cost us?

The posh Sebastian-Vail rate for a deluxe double queen room $545/night (AAA discount) minimum 4 night stay. Total with tax is $2393.64 for each member of the entourage. Of course, we could never expect the Obamas to suffer through the night in a paltry deluxe room. Suite rates were unavailable.

Then Carter took over and Crested Butte got the press.

I go to MT 'cause the crowds apparently can't get there.

Besides it's too cold, too dark, too uncivilized and no one would want to go there. Best to stay away.

Is it just me or does the younger girl get photographed more than the older one? Maybe because the older one has the adolescent attitude, although they have both been caught pouting on camera.

Are you sure those are not Wookie sightings?

BINGO! It’s more common to find a black hockey player.

Michelle has no excuse-—I feel sorry for the kids having her for a mother.

Not to worry; if they do strap on skiis, it will be for five minutes on the bunny trails. The media WILL NOT be showing photos of the First Frump and her brood on their gigantic backsides as they haven’t a clue how to stand up on those things.
