LIVE.LOVE. EAT. Mountain.

Sally & the CEO.Click 4 PixLive/Love/Eat Mountain, A Free Event had its debut before a packed house at The Wheeler Opera House in Aspen, Colorado last Sunday.  A dynamic, progressive and passionate program, it was a multi-media celebration of sustainable mountain living.  Created as a joint venture between The Wheeler, The City of Aspen, Aspen International Mountain Forum  (AIMF) and Mountain Partnership, it was a BIG hit. A-Spin is reading between the lines... Sally Spaulding and Paul MacFarlane dreamed this one up and made it happen with a strong team effort.
