Justin Bieber hits the slopes of Aspen during boys-only snowboarding trip with best friend Josh Mehl

He’s been busy promoting his latest album effort.

But Justin Bieber escaped from responsibility in Aspen, Colorado on Saturday, hitting the snowy slopes with his close friend Josh Mehl but sans his wife Hailey Baldwin Bieber.

Justin, 25, looked like a helmeted bumblebee in his yellow and black winter getup, as he dragged his snowboard along and hitched a chairlift to the top of the mountain.

Mehl, often part of Bieber’s entourage, was his wedding witness for his nuptials to Hailey.

The sighting of Justin comes after his appearance on Thursday night’s Late Late Show With James Corden on CBS, where he was forced to rank three of Hailey’s closest friends from his favorite to his least favorite as part of a gag.

Among his options were Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne.

Faced with the prospect of having to eat a bull penis if he didn’t rank them, the Sorry singer went with Kendall as his first pick, followed by Gigi and then Cara bringing up the rear in third place.

Justin’s reasoning for his selections was that, while Jenner is ‘a good friend,’ he hasn’t ‘spent a lot of time’ with Gigi nor Cara.

‘I have nothing against those people,’ he reasoned. 

The Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets actress clapped back on her Instagram after the slight, with a (slightly) cheeky response showing her followers the offending Corden clip in which Bieber makes light of their relationship, followed by evidence to the contrary — a photo of the two of them on stage together from years back in 2012.

‘Now vs. Then’ Cara captioned the post.

‘If you have nothing against me, then why don’t you unblock me? Love you @haileybieber – he should have just eaten the bull penis,’ she concluded.

Although Cara didn’t mention the reason why Justin has blocked her, the duo did fall out last summer when the Baby singer defended his manager Scooter Braun amid his ongoing feud with Taylor Swift.

In July, Cara joined the growing list of artists who have come to the defense of Taylor after the pop superstar called out music manager Scooter for bullying her before buying up her old music catalog.

Take that: Hailey's friend Cara Delevingne clapped back at Justin for ranking her third and saying they haven't 'spent a lot of time' together, showing a photo that begged otherwise
