Royal family
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.
