Frederik, Mary, Christian & Isabella in Verbier for skiing & giant snowballs

The Crown Prince Family has gone to Verbier in Switzerland for their traditional skiing break (18 February 2008). This is the first year Princess Isabella is a part of the family's snowy holiday and Christian seems eager to show little Isabella the ropes, "This is a snowball!" Prince Joachim is acting as regent while the Queen is in Mexico, with Frederik taking over next Monday and then again early in March. Frederik and Mary have been going to Verbier since 2002 for Mary's birthday on February 5, but for various reasons they are "running late" this year (engagements in Denmark, IOC matters for Frederik - we will post about this shortly).
