Mountain Sports + Living Winter 2011 Resort Guide
This is a very cool new magazine – here’s a little background from editor Marc Peruzzi’s intro:
“When our team got together last year and decided to launch a magazine, we had a very specific plan: We would only write about issues and interests associated with the mountains of North America. We would cover skiing, mountain biking, and the other mountain sports we love, but we would also report on environmental and social issues. We wouldn’t chase fashion. Instead of dumbing down our content, we would smarten it up. We would create a magazine to last…
A magazine should be the opposite of the Internet. Since we can’t delete our mistakes, we try to improve with each issues. We hire better photographers, illustrators, and writers. We treat our readership with respect and assume (correctly) that they’re of great intelligence. We surprise and inform, and ultimately deliver a product that has value. In this case, a beautiful glossy magazine full of inspirational photography and storytelling, that’s worthy of staying on your coffee table till it has grown dog-eared and beer-stained.”
Now in it’s second year, I’m impressed. Mountain Sports + Living steps up to fill a void in the ski/outdoor magazine world by providing a timeless and classy publication. It has a crisp, clean layout that is easy to read (clear font and most articles are printed black text on white background) and sharp pictures to complement articles about mountain gear, lodges, habitat (this issue has an article about log homes) and advocacy. It’s sophisticated and fresh. I highly recommend picking up a copy (sold at Whole Foods, Barnes and Nobles and many others)or subscribing online at http://www.mtnaccess.com/mountain-sports-living.
I’m so excited to have two published shots in this issue for the resort reviews on Snowbird and Alta (both photos by Lee Cohen). Here’s a sneak peak:
