24 dec. 14 - 27, 2012 outlaw news congratulations by tyler allen big sky weekly distribution director Here at Outlaw’s publications, we explore life, land and culture in the Greater Yellowstone region. The stories, photographs and people we’ve found are intriguing and inspiring. You’ll find that inspiration, too, in the pages of the winter 2013 Mountain Outlaw magazine. we have the fortune to work with talented writers, photographers, mountain enthusiasts, politicians, artists and businesses that love this part of the world. Their hard work and devotion to this community proves it. On Dec. 1, 2012 Mountain Outlaw’s parent company, Outlaw Partners (also the publisher of this newspaper), threw a party at Choppers in big Sky, Mont. to celebrate that hard work. Grizzly Outfitters gave away piles of merchandise, bad betty rocked their high-tempo blend of jazz and funk for three hours, and Outlaw provided free beer until the keg ran dry. That’s how it’s done in big Sky. “Congratulations,” is the most common response I’ve heard from those who’ve touched this magazine. from the three college students on the stoop of Pub 317 in bozeman, to the countless readers in our big Sky home, to the skiers hungrily waiting for the first tram of the season at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in wyoming. “Thank you,” is my feeble and humble response, followed by, “we worked hard on this one.” we are grateful to every person who opens this fifth rendition of Mountain Outlaw. They gaze at the photo gallery with a stunning landscape of Paradise Valley in the fall, at Taylor Lyman flying over pristine powder in Cooke City, and at the portrait of local jazz artist Jeni fleming. They smile at Kelsey Dzintars’ info graphic about the Gallatin National forest Avalanche Center, bemused by the caricature of GNfAC Director Doug Chabot and caption, “30: Gallons of coffee downed by Doug.” They salivate over the Outdoor Athlete’s Guide to Office Survival and the new products we’ve had the opportunity to use and review. explorebigsky.com If they’ve had time to read the stories, they convey to me how strong our editorial staff and the gifted group of contributing freelance writers are. I hear about which stories struck them, from “under the spell of Lone Peak: 40 years down the road” by Marcie Hahn-Knoff, to “A postcard from Chilkoot Pass” by Corrie Parks, or “brian Schweitzer: A Governor and his plan to change the world” by Editor Joseph T. O’Connor. Amber wiatt, employee at big Sky Exxon told me her favorite is “Man and beast: How a grizzly bear attack in big Sky reflects the health of a species” by Managing Editor Emily Stifler. “I tell people they should grab a copy of the magazine to read that story if for no other reason,” wiatt said. Some people leaf through it and immediately say, “this is really well produced.” Others hesitate before they open the pages and stare at Paul O’Connor’s cover shot of architect Michael Reynolds. Depicting him in front of one of his Earthship homes in Taos, N.M., O’Connor captured Reynolds’ flowing gray hair, scruffy beard and sunglasses reflecting a peak that looks eerily like Lone Mountain. tyler allen gets the crowd going at the mountain outlaw release party at Choppers Photo by Mike Coil This lauding feedback about Mountain Outlaw from people throughout the Yellowstone region encourages our staff to keep striving for high-quality content. It seems to be what the people want. The praise hasn’t only come from readers. It’s come from our advertisers, clients and associates around the region and world. And also from one right next door. explorebigsky.com Big Sky Weekly Mountain outlaw magazine is on stands now throught the greater yellowstone region. Photo by tyler allen jackson hole get their mitts on the new mountain outlaw Photo by tyler allen “Thank you for all you do for the arts,” said Colin Mathews, owner of Creighton block Gallery in big Sky Town Center, in his speech during the magazine release party. Mathews has been an Outlaw client since 2011, and his gallery is across the parking lot from our office. Mathews then presented an original oil painting by Gary Lynn Roberts to Outlaw CEO Eric Ladd. Roberts is a classical western oil painter who lives in Hamilton, Mont. and some of his work hangs at Creighton block. He was also the subject of a feature story by Ryan Dorn, and a depiction of his painting, “Go with Pride,” graces the back cover. Mountain Outlaw magazine can be found throughout southwest Montana, in all of the gateway communities surrounding Yellowstone National Park including Jackson and Cody, wyo., and is mailed to subscribers around the world. we appreciate the kind words of congratulations. we worked hard on this one.
