Michelle Obama in Aspen for Ski Vacation

First Lady Michelle Obama arrived in Aspen on Friday afternoon and is here with her daughters for a ski vacation.

Few details about her trip were available. Sources said she is staying at the home of Jim and Paula Crown, owners of the Aspen Skiing Co. She is reportedly skiing at Buttermilk today, where the Crowns, of Chicago, own a home on the Tiehack side.

Several people have known about the “low-key” vacation, with the Secret Service in town for the past few days scoping out places for the family to relax and enjoy what the resort has to offer.

Pitkin County Sheriff Joe DiSalvo confirmed that he has met with the Secret Service and has loaned seven deputies to help protect the first lady and her family.

It’s good to be Queen.

She needs to take a few vacations after expending so much energy telling people what to eat. She’s probably getting a bit hoarse screaming at us.

It gives new meaning to the term “ski bum”.

I don’t see how it will be but this really should be part of the campaign. Nobody is going to bring this up. Nobody.

The kids might go down the slope, but I doubt Ms. Chicago would tolerate the falling down part of the learning process.

Providing security for the spoiled on the slopes can be a mental challenge.
You could bleed to death from biting your lip.
