Hope you had a great Fourth of July weekend. The holiday reminds us of Aspen, Colo., where many of our clients and colleagues spend summer vacation. Whether you’re already there or heading out later this season, here’s a quick guide to what’s new and happening in one of our favorite ski towns. Chances are, we’ll see you out and about.
