Vanessa Bryant takes daughters to friends and family ski trip with Pau Gasol

Kobe Bryant’s family and Pau Gasol’s family just took their friendship to new heights. Vanessa Bryant and Natalia Bryant joined Gasol, his wife Catherine McDonnell, and their kids for a fun-filled ski trip, proving once again that their bond is stronger than ever.

The Bryants and Gasols have been inseparable since Kobe and Gianna Bryant’s passing in 2020. They’ve exchanged heartfelt birthday messages, sent each other thoughtful gifts (Vanessa’s Christmas presents were next-level), and Gasol even made sure Vanessa felt the love on Valentine’s Day. Now, they’re making new memories together on the slopes.

The Bryants and Gasols Hit the Slopes

Vanessa shared a sweet group photo on Instagram of both families bundled up and smiling, capturing the kind of warmth that goes beyond just winter gear. The kids got to hang out, the parents got to chill (or maybe chase the kids down the mountain), and it was all good vibes.

But let’s talk about the fashion. Because Vanessa and Natalia? They absolutely crushed it. The mother-daughter duo—who already look so much alike—rocked coordinating black ski outfits, proving once again that their style game is always on point. Vanessa sported a black helmet, while Natalia opted for a white one, and both looked effortlessly chic while carving up the slopes.

This isn’t the first time these two have twinned in style. Remember when they attended that glamorous Indian wedding together? Or when they turned heads at a Dodgers playoff game? Yeah, these two know how to match without even trying.

Ski Skills on Point

While the location of the trip remains a mystery (somewhere with a serious snow upgrade), these ladies can ski. Vanessa even shared a video of their runs, showing off their skills as they glided down the mountain like pros.

Beyond the fun and fashion, this trip was about something even more meaningful: family. Just over five years since losing Kobe and Gigi, moments like these remind us how important it is to keep loved ones close.
