Photos:Angelina Jolie looks happy as she celebrates New Year with kids alone

Angelina Jolie and her children looked happy as they hit the slopes in Colorado over the new year.

 The family, which is probably glad to see the back of 2016 after split between Angelina and her ex
Brad Pitt , were pictured all smiles in Crested Butte on New Year's Day. Mother-of-six Angelina hit the slopes with Zahara, Vivienne and Knox and were joined by a ski instructor, who helped the youngsters improve their technique.

 Angelina, who brought along a bodyguard for their safety, also stepped out in the town with Shiloh and Knox to head for some sweet treats.See more photos below
