Marching Trees Preparing for Winter

It's mid-summer and already time for the 'running of the trees'.  From late afternoon on, when the slopes are clear, the aspens begin to prepare the runs for Winter Skiing.  Each year, the trees march up the mountain side to ensure the absolutely best contours for each run.  Of course, this event is seldom seen and almost never photographed!
