Michelle Obama Goes Skiing in Colorado
by KEITH KOFFLER on FEBRUARY 19, 2011, 11:34 AM
First Lady Michelle Obama is on “a private family trip” in Colorado where she is skiing with daughters Sasha and Malia, according to an administration official.

“The First Lady and several close friends are  chaperoning their children on a ski trip,” the official told the press pool reporter who is following President Obama today.

Reports coming out of Colorado say she arrived Friday night and is staying at the Sebastian Hotel on Vail Mountain. Rooms start at $605 per night for a room with two queen beds and head north of $2,000 for multi-bedroom suites.

Here’s a description from the hotel’s website:

For the best in Colorado vacations, stay at The Sebastian - Vail and enjoy Vail’s newest boutiqueslopeside hotel. In the heart of the Vail Village, The Sebastian is welcoming and pulsing with life. There’s Bloom Spa, Frost Bar, Market for nibbles, our visionary Block 16 restaurant. There’s a mountain-view pool, hot tubs and a roaring fire pit. Base Camp offers ski-in ski-out access from Vail’s Vista Bahn lift, just at the foot of Vail Mountain. Our ski valets will help you into warm ski boots and out onto the mountain.

Mrs. Obama has decided to jet out to Vail – instead of visiting slopes closer to Washington DC in Virginia or Pennsylvania – despite already incurring criticism for taking opulent excursions, particularly a trip last summer to Spain. There, she stayed at the country’s swankest hotel and, like this weekend, was traveling without her husband.

Not just her and the kids, either.  Seems a bunch of other kiddies and mommies and daddies got to go as well.

Oh, Me-shell, she of the phrase, "LET THEM EAT RICE CAKES!"

She really wouldn't need skis, just poles.

If she wanders down any secluded trails somebody might try to net her.

I got news for ya, there won't be a human being within 2 miles of the First Yeti.

It's too bad, too.  I know the ski resorts were looking forward to capitalizing on the long weekend and the fresh snow that just landed up there.  Once again, the O'Bummers go out of their way to kill an economy. :bigbird:

Come on guys give Michelle a break, It's been six weeks since their vacation to Hawaii over Christmas and New Years.   Besides, if you were Barry, wouldn't you want her gone as much as possible?  :whistling:

That's a difficult question, thundley.  After all, if you were Mechelle, wouldn't you want to be gone as much as possible from a guy you could beat up simply with your lizard laser glare?

I don't think they're on speaking terms, I really don't.  And when a rumor broke several weeks ago about how Michelle might be pregnant, I knew that was laughable.  They're not speaking, and they're not boinking.

Hey, when women aren't boinking their husbands that usually means they're boinking somebody else.

I agree that they probably aren't the happy, lovey dovey family the media portrays them to be.  I'm amazed at how many vacations she takes without him.  I mean really, is there so little to do around DC that she has to take the girls away every few weeks?
