Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky celebrated the arrival of 2024 in winter style!
Spanish model and actress Pataky, 47, shared a series of snaps of her family’s recent ski vacation with the group — which also included Matt Damon and his wife Luciana Barroso — as well as New Year’s celebrations in the mountains.
“New Year in the snow with my loved ones. Happy New Year to you all,” she captioned the carousel, also sharing the words in her native Spanish.

One fun photo from the actress’ carousel even revealed that Hemsworth and Pataky’s friends, Damon and Barroso, joined them during the New Year’s trip. In the picture, the group posed next to a building outside, with snow-capped mountains forming a picturesque backdrop behind them.
Wearing a green jacket and matching green cap, Thor the actor grinned as he playfully held his wife’s head, while Pataky, dressed in a bright pink jacket and pants, rested her arm around Barroso’s shoulder. Meanwhile, a beaming Damon stood next to another member of the group, wearing a pair of green ski overalls, similar to the blue pair worn by his wife, and a cozy red sweater.
Another fun photo also showed a large group posing on the slopes, including Hemsworth, Pataky and what appeared to be their three children among the youngsters within the crew, all decked out in winter sports gear. The actress was all smiles in another shot with what appeared to be her daughter India, as well as another child, as the three sat in the snow and posed for the shot.

The family’s winter vacation coincided with Australian actor Hemsworth, 40, who shared a motivational message with his 58.6 million Instagram followers.
“Happy New Year everyone. As I sit here at the start of 2024 with my family and friends, it really got me thinking about the new year, the new mentality of me that’s been circulating on social media. I have some thoughts,” Hemsworth said after a series of clips featuring him how he exercises and plays sports.
“Flicking the switch on yourself when the calendar changes is never going to be a sustainable way to achieve your goals,” he continued.

He then went on to challenge his followers to make “one small change” in 2024, promising to be “right there with them” as they do.
Returning to being a dad, the actor told PEOPLE in 2017 that one of his biggest goals as a father is to teach his kids “to really appreciate everything” in life.
“As a kid, we had very little money, and my parents saved for a whole year just to pay for a two-week camping trip,” he explained of his childhood.
“We’re in a different position financially, but I want to make sure they know these things don’t come easy. You have to work for it and you can’t take it for granted.”
