According to the story below the kind owners of a couple of ski resorts put up their shack for Michelle, family and friends for a few days.
According to the Aspen Daily News, which first reported the news, the family is staying at the home of Jim and Paula Crown, who own and operate four ski mountain resorts. The paper also reported that the first family is skiing Saturday at Buttermilk, one of the Crown's mountain resorts that caters to beginners and families.
If you have a few resorts, even for beginners and families, you have money to cover the mortgage, but to say that Jim and Paula Crown own a few resorts is like saying David Rockefeller owns a nice beetle collection.
It appears that Jimmy and Paula have a bit more than beginner and family ski resorts. Oh, they also own a lot of influence over government.
