Braving the cold! James Packer and girlfriend Kylie Lim step out in the snow as they enjoy a quiet Christmas in Aspen with a group of friends
James Packer and his girlfriend, Kylie Lim, braved the cold on Saturday night as they continued their winter getaway in Aspen, Colorado.
The billionaire casino mogul, 52, and his long-term partner were seen walking through the snow after enjoying dinner with friends.
As temperatures plunged below zero in the mountain town, the pair appeared to be feeling the chill as they made their way home.

James looked down as he trudged towards an SUV after leaving the restaurant.
He left his black coat open at the collar, while Kylie wrapped up warm in a white fleeced jacket as a light blanket of snow fell around them.
They arrived in Aspen shortly before Christmas for a low-key celebration with friends.
James is said to own a $20million property there, which he reportedly bought in 2013 with his ex-wife Erica Packer (née Baxter).

His donation plans were announced last month in a speech by Daily Telegraph editor Ben English at the Bradfield Oration, an annual event attended by politicians and dignitaries to discuss Sydney’s future.
In a message read out to the audience, James said: ‘We, like everybody, are touched by the tragedies and bravery occurring daily. It is a pleasure to make this modest contribution.’
The RFS budget in 2020 was cut by five per cent from $551million to $524million.
