Hawn and Russell have been visiting Colorado for years and make anannual tripto Aspen every winter. Last month, the couple wasspottedshopping ahead of Christmas while they wore matching cowboy hats.
Oliver added, “It’s a bit of a time capsule. Those curtains that you see are like 30 years old, you know what I mean? Mom refuses to update, which kind of is great.”

“I went to elementary school up here,” Oliver revealed. “I actually took my kids out of school five years ago in L.A. and took them up here to live in the mountains and have some independence and some freedom. It’s a really special place for sure.”
To Oliver, some of “the greatest” parts of being in Aspen are snow days and the easy access to ski mountains.

“That was the greatest thing about being here, snow days. Wednesdays they let off early so everyone can go ski,” he said. “The school system is so different. My kid had, in 5th grade, a page of homework front and back that was given on Monday and due on Friday. That was it. They believe in sort of go home, play in the snow, be in the mountains. That’s sort of their philosophy here.”

Oliver said he and his wife make the most of their time on the slopes when they are out in Colorado.
“My wife was on a ski team [and] she grew up in Massachusetts. She was basically skiing on sheets of ice,” Oliver explained. “I’ve been skiing since I was five. I’m pretty good. I can ski anything. I’m 45 years old now, things have changed. I don’t do what I do. I ski fast but I don’t go crazy and jump off cliffs and things like that. I used to be pretty crazy.”
