A land for all seasons Aspen trees shimmer in the sunlight last weekend below the high peaks of the snow-capped Boul-der Mountains, north of Ketchum.

The weather report for today, Oct. 9, calls for snow and rain, with the skies turning to partly cloudy Thursday and sunny on Friday. Photo by Willy Cook
