I subscribe....it comes via US mail in a shipping bag. The magazine is supported with cardboard if I remember correctly so it doesn't get bent or damaged in shipping.Quote:

Yeah, mine comes to the POB and they put it in a locker iirc. Your delivery person may vary.
What do you think of it so far? I want to subscribe to support outdoor journalism/writing but it looks really pricey
I think the format is great for photography, but a bit cumbersome for reading.
Fair assessment.Quote:

With the consolidation of media, and much quality content going to die in shit-ass social media; I'm all about supporting quality, focused journalism. Along with Mountain Gazette, I also picked up Adventure Journal, and kept with Ski Journal.
^^ I'd throw Ascent Backcountry Snow Journal & Backcountry Magazine into the mix if you're into the backcountry at all.

They are different magazines. Backcountry Mag is a little bit more sponsored content and ads, but reads a lot like a Powder of the backcountry. Ascent is an independently produced mag about BC skiing and splitboarding with three issues per year.

Always been a fan of High Country News. Political, but well done.
Might I suggest The Avalanche Review?

Of course this may reflect the class of visitors we have…
Glad to hear that you prize your copies of TAR. They are sized to fit on the back of the toilet. Ping me if you run across anything interesting.

It's 9:30 on Friday night and I'm now going through the house with the latest issue of TAR, setting it on top of each toilet to check the sizing. In other words, it's party time here.Quote:

I miss that kinda juice.

Have two cover photo's framed at the house. Other periodicals worth a read Colorado Central and the SanJuan Horseshoe.
I know Fayhee pretty well. I'm quite familiar with many of the characters in his writings too, haha. Not sure he is still involved with the MG at all though.Quote:

You made me laugh out loud before coffee.Quote:

Michael Moore’s 70s MG introduced me to Dorworth, and had the first except of The Monkey Wrench Gang, and countless other great writings and photos. For some reason I never got into Sibley’s long contemplations.Quote:

Night Driving and TAR are both killer. Got to spend a fair amount of time with one of the guys who makes a cameo in Night Driving and was blown away by the contrast w today’s ‘ski culture’

^^ Are fires not a concern for mountain communities? We just had one in South Tahoe.
(also the Sonoma / Napa fires were in the mountains)
I love MG, or I did the old versions. I haven't seen the new ones. I also have a stack from the mid 2000's.
When I was young I really loved Powder but the bro brah skin thing gets old imho. MG was a great alternative with a little bit of this and a little bit of that with a lot more on the true dirt bag mountain lifestyle instead of skiings rock stars being sent on dream trips. I liked that.
For sure j, just mention it as, given the number of mountain communities affected by fires, they might cast a little wider net than the epitome of mountain communities named Sonoma. Esp when it’s by the editors wife. Cool mag hope it keeps getting better

I’ve got a stack of old MGs that I need to dig out.
When I first moved west I’d go to the same coffee shop and grab a copy whenever they were out. Even in the 00’s you could get it for free in some towns - coffee shops, outdoor stores, some bars, etc. I started subscribing and getting it delivered when they stopped that model of course. Guy outta Boulder was running it for a bit and we used to have an email conversation re: articles and happenings etc.
Was glad to see it revived and happily threw them some dough. Hope they can keep it going.
I met Fayhee on my honeymoon in CB at the distillery. Good times.
Survivor, the long (down and dirty) history of the Mountain Gazette
And a recent post from Mountain Gazette's Facebook page

I'm in for that. It would be cool if much of that was reprinted in the same format, but I realize that would be a tough ROI. Maybe some sort of anthology in the same size format of classic issues?Quote:

BTW, does anyone by chance have any copies of Skier's Gazette, (predecessor to Mountain Gazette), or know where an archive of such might be found?
Track down Fayhee or Sibley.Quote:

Please go say so on the FB post. I follow them and never saw it, so I'm guessing FB's AI decided that it sounded like it should only be shared widely if boosted (with cash). I'd love to see it happen, even if I don't know if I'd have time to enjoy it (still haven't finished the last issue, or the last Ski Journal).Quote:
