Ski queen Victoria takes it breezy

For a woman famed for being small enough to wear children's clothes, Victoria Beckham can't seem to find big enough clothes to keep out the alpine chill.

The former Spice Girl's low-riding ski trousers exposed her an expanse of back revealing her eight point star tattoo, said to represent her two boys Romeo, Brooklyn, husband David and herself, as she bent down to adjust her ski boots.

The mother of three is on holiday with her eight-year-old son, father Tony and brother Christian, while husband David, 31, is in Spain training with Real Madrid.

Courchevel is a favourite for the family, who make the destination an annual stopover during the season.

Adventurous Victoria, not known for being the sporty one, was pictured yesterday hang-gliding with a ski instructor.

Wearing a yellow skiing jacket and Chanel skis, the 32-year-old was accompanied by an instructor as they floated over the peaks - and later son Brooklyn joined in the airborne fun.

The former Spice Girl was obviously enjoying herself, swapping her customary pout for a broad grin. She even managed a regal wave to onlookers below.

Taking his lead from mum, Brooklyn also looked thrilled as he took his turn sailing through the skies the help of an instructor.

Courchevel remains a favourite for the family, who make the destination an annual stopover during the season.

A day earlier, Victoria was spotted slopes wearing a baggy all-white ski suit.

With her streaked hair held back by a bandana, Posh's relaxed look is a world away from the all-black Chanel leather ski-suit she sported shortly after the story of her husband's infidelity broke.

Wearing classic Aviator shades from her own line of sunglasses, the former Spice Girl looks a natural on her skis, as she's obviously mastered the finer points of the popular wintersport.
