Following her high-profile separation from Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie started the new year with a rejuvenating ski trip to a lavish $4 million mansion in Crested Butte, Colorado. Accompanied by her children, Jolie aimed to escape the stress of 2016 and spend quality time with her family.
The 41-year-old actress announced her divorce plans in September and was spotted hitting the slopes with three of her six children, Zahara, Knox, and Vivienne.
Bundled up against the cold in stylish black ski attire complete with a fur-trimmed coat, helmet, and goggles, Jolie looked every bit the snow bunny.
Despite her sporty appearance, eyewitnesses noted that Jolie struggled with balance on the steeper slopes, occasionally falling and opting to walk part of the way. She was seen wearing electric thermic foot warmers to stay comfortable.
Staying in a six-bedroom mansion with ski-in and ski-out access, the family enjoyed private ski lessons and scenic mountain views. In one instance, Jolie and Vivienne indulged in hot chocolate and ice cream at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, showcasing their close bond as they strolled through the winter resort.
Amidst this snowy retreat, Jolie focused on her children’s happiness. She checked on them frequently to ensure they enjoyed their skiing sessions. Vivienne, dressed in a stylish black ensemble like her mother, frolicked in the snow and visited a local toy store.
Meanwhile, Brad Pitt spent the holidays in Los Angeles, having supervised visits with his children. Sources close to Pitt revealed that this has been his hardest holiday season, with limited time spent with his children and the ongoing legal battles adding to his distress.
The couple’s legal disputes continued, with recent tensions over Pitt’s request to seal their children’s court records to protect sensitive information about their therapists. Jolie agreed to keep these documents confidential, emphasizing her commitment to her children’s privacy.
Despite the challenges, Jolie appeared calm and composed during the trip, enjoying the snowy escapade with her children. This family getaway marks a fresh start for Jolie as she navigates life post-divorce, focusing on creating positive memories with her kids.
