  Origin of Snow
  by Ron Watters

  What exactly is snow? It’s incredibly important to Idaho: It fuels our multi-million dollar ski industry and is the source of life-giving water for our communities, farms, and ranches. Come along on a backcountry ski trip across the Gospel Hump wilderness, and take a look at the white stuff from a microscopic perspective. You’ll discover how snow is formed and in what shapes, and how it changes once it’s on the ground.

  Gooding—Spotlight City
  by Kelly Kast

  Founded by former Governor Frank R. Gooding, this month’s spotlight city is located twenty-eight miles northwest of Twin Falls. Fiercely proud of their pioneers, Gooding’s 3,384 citizens celebrate their history at least three times a year. With not a single stoplight, the town may seem a quiet, “Mayberryesque” place. But beneath the surface, Gooding is bustling with activity.

  The Fabulous Wandamere
  by Connie B. Otteson

  Tango back in time to the wonderful Wandamere, where gals and guys danced the fox trot, the waltz, and the swing, and where once even Louis Armstrong played. In this fun retrospective, visit the elegant ballroom that once stood where now sits an Idaho Falls concrete company. Rising two stories, the ballroom featured twenty-foot ceilings, mirrored walls and a mirrored ball overhead. Though sometimes as rough as it was romantic, the Wandamere was a glittery oasis in the desert countryside.
