Meghan Markle enjoyed a lavish winter vacation with friends at the upscale Powder Mountain ski resort in Utah this week.

The Duchess of Sussex was photographed skiing the snowy slopes with Pilates guru Heather Durack and Alliance of Moms co-founder Kelly Mackey-Zagvin.

Markle, 42, managed to stay under the radar in sunglasses and a Moncler beanie as she enjoyed the cold weather with fellow mums.

“What a perfect trip!! “My heart is so full,” Durack he wrote on Instagram From their mountain escape. “The kids were crushing the slopes by day, and the adults were howling with laughter deep into the night. Really lucky in love with our amazing friends!”

Mackie Zagvin agreed, Writing on her own social media account“, “Beyond gratitude for best friends! What a trip!

She added: “Thank you does not even express how my heart feels after this trip. The love of family time, adventures, and laughter made this trip one for the books! Here's to more adventures with friends who feel like family and appreciate every day.

It's not clear whether Markle's husband, Prince Harry, and their two children — Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2 — went on vacation. However, her friends posted photos with their families.

Either way, Powder Mountain makes an ideal getaway for the Sussexes, who value privacy and freedom.

The luxury ski destination, located just outside bustling Salt Lake City, is designed to promote an “uncrowded mountain experience.” According to the Powder Mountain website.

“With fewer day passes and the most skiable area in the United States, Powder Mountain gives you the space to be yourself while experiencing the pure excitement and limitless adventure of Utah's majestic Wasatch Mountains,” the website boasts.

There are several restaurants on site, including Hidden Lake Lodge, which serves snacks and beer, Hidden Lake Cantina, which serves Mexican-style meals, and Sundown Lodge, which offers Lucky Slice Pizza for evening skiers.

The Powder Keg at The Timberline Lodge is also a great place where Aprés skiers can listen to live music.

There are many gorgeous chalets and lodges that visitors can rent for a luxurious stay with stunning views of the western skyline and guaranteed lift tickets. Upscale cabins offer a comfortable aesthetic while also embracing contemporary styles and state-of-the-art amenities.

“Our mountaintop stay features quick and easy access to everything Powder Mountain has to offer,” the website states.

The 8,000-acre resort includes an extensive, interconnected trail system, as well as hundreds of lodgings, hotels, restaurants and shops.

“Everything has been thoughtfully and sustainably planned to ensure Powder Mountain remains intact for generations to come,” the website states.

For serious skiers, the resort's concept stands out thanks to its “upside-down” design.

“This means that our lodge is located at the top of the resort, and you start your day skiing (instead of most places where you start your day on the lift),” the website explains.
