Michelle Obama, Daughters Visit Vail For Holiday Weekend

VAIL, Colo. (AP/CBS4) - Michelle Obama and her daughters are spending Presidents Day weekend in Colorado.

Vail Mountain ski lift operators confirmed to the Vail Daily that Michelle Obama had been through the lift line with a Secret Service entourage Saturday.

Michelle Obama's press secretary, Katie McCormick-Lelyveld, told The Washington Post the first lady and the Obama daughters were on a private family ski trip to Colorado, with several close family friends. She said personal expenses are being paid for by the Obamas.

They arrived Friday night and since then have been enjoying all that Vail has to offer. They are staying at the Sebastian Hotel. When the Obamas aren't on the slopes, they've been staying fairly close to the hotel.

The First Lady had dinner at Kelly Liken's restaurant. She was a contestant on Top Chef last season.

The Obamas plan to head back to Washington, D.C. on Monday.
