Michelle Obama took her daughters to Ski Liberty in Pennsylvania last season. That was Malia and Sasha’s first ski trip. President Obama reportedly is not a skier.

Not far from Camp David. Also not a very big place. More like a hill than a mountain. I bet the Secret Service had to close some slopes for the First Family.

In Pennsylvania, it’s not skiing - it’s downhill ice skating. I must say, I can’t blame a desire to ski at Vail versus Ski Liberty (a tiny hill) - whereas Vail is about the best skiiing in Colorado (never skiied there, too pricey for me, but I have heard from those who have).
