DID YOU KNOW?
• More than 91% of adults in the United States read print
magazines today.
• On average, 61% take action after seeing an
advertisement in a print magazine.
It’s true that readers are connecting with magazine content in
new ways. In 2015, the number of readers accessing magazines

accessibility is fostering some impressive audience growth. In 2015,
the magazine media’s gross audience has grown by more than
10%. In the shelter magazine category, which includes Mountain
Living, that growth is even greater, at 13%.
These are facts you can’t afford to ignore when planning your
marketing strategy for 2016, and we’re ready to help you capitalize
on the trend. This year, Mountain Living has created even more
unique and integrated programs to put you in front of your next
customers, and we’ve developed an exciting lineup of special

Just like your business, the Mountain Living brand continues to
grow and adapt to meet the needs of a changing marketplace and
our increasingly savvy readers—who are your customers. And as
always, we’re doing it with you, our advertising partners, in mind.
We are your long-term partners with one goal:

them. Through our multimedia channels, we
deliver an audience of affluent consumers
who are actively searching for home design
products and services, and connect them with

THE ARTIST: Bryan Christiansen
BEST KNOWN FOR: Transforming
discarded furniture parts into sculptural
deer and animal skulls.
INSPIRATION: “Much of my inspiration
comes from nature and my adolescence
growing up in the Midwest. A lot of my
early work was directly related to learning to hunt when I was young. I spent all
my free time exploring the forest in those
days, and those experiences continue to
inform my work on many different levels.”
THE THRILL OF THE HUNT: “Initially
my work used hunting as an archetype.
I would go out and look for furniture the
same way you would hunt for an
animal—in alleyways, behind thrift stores,
in dumpsters, on curbs. Remaking the
object into a deer was about giving it
life, a sort of Dadaist endeavor.”

ON DUMPSTERS AND DEER: “Furniture
is an anthropological object. Our lives
unfold in, around and on those objects,
and the discarded pieces are remnants
of people’s lives. I get to continue that
history into something new. When
someone views the finished piece and
realizes it was originally a couch or a
mattress, they bring the entirety of their
experience with those objects to the
sculpture. Not many people would walk
up and touch the couch or mattress on
the curb, but once it’s been remade into
something as approachable and docile
as a deer, they become intrigued; they
want to touch, pet and even kiss them.” o

That’s why Mark Herron, general manager of the Four Seasons
Resort and Residences in Vail,
Colorado, asked for his guests’
input before embarking on a
major renovation of the resort’s
Fireside Lounge. The clientele
had differing opinions on style
and ambience, but all agreed on
one thing: They wanted a comfortable space to unwind.
One year and $2.5 million
later, the resort revealed a bar
and lounge so different in overall
concept and design that it deserved a new name: The Remedy.
Reimagined by New York City
design studio Meyer Davis, the
updated space features modern, movable furniture in
warm earth tones, rich textures and materials indigenous
to Colorado, from beetle-kill stump stools to tables made
of reclaimed cedar. From any of the 150 seats in the
2,450-square-foot space, guests can watch skiers schuss
down Vail Mountain through floor-to-ceiling windows. “I
like to call it ‘the money shot,’” Herron says of the view.
“You feel like you just walked outside.”
Previously tucked in a corner facing a wall, the bar
now takes center stage and offers a pre-Prohibition-era
cocktail list worthy of the attention. Bartenders mix up
“elixirs” and “potions” with cheeky names, including the
Medicine Cabinet, a sweet bourbon drink that’s served
on tap. “Concoctions,” or food items, take a contemporary approach to old-school grub—foie gras pizza,
pork belly sliders and a bourbon-maple-ginger ice cream
sandwich, to name a few.
At the end of the day, The Remedy aims to be a space
where guests can find solace—through a family game
of Monopoly or a strong drink. “It doesn’t matter what
your specific remedy is,” Herron says. “We have it for
you.” fourseasons.com/vail/dining o

Rustic meets modern: Urbaine Home’s eclectic mix of home furnishings illustrates Rain Houser and Skye Anderson’s approach to mountain home design: “When you
have a brown log home and you put a piece of brown wood furniture in it, it gets lost,” Houser says. “But if there’s a contrast, the beauty of the piece is revealed.”
Here, a handwoven leather-fringe chair from McGuire Furniture rests atop a hair-on-hide rug. A metallic leather sheath gives the log stump side table a glam finish.

sleep up to eight weary travelers in comfy beds and bunks. With Western charm and easy portability, the wheeled guest quarters can be arranged in

Set on the shores of the largest, clearest lake in
North America, the communities that ring Lake
Tahoe offer world-class recreation, entertainment,
dining and fun. The 22-mile-long lake in the Sierra
Nevada mountains is a dividing line between
California and Nevada, with each shoreline
providing a unique perspective on the area. The
stunning natural scenery of this region has been
enjoyed and inhabited for thousands of years, and
was first seen by European explorers guided by
the legendary Kit Carson in 1844. Gold mining led
to a boomtown era, and the early 19th century
saw visits from nearby San Francisco socialites.
These days, the Tahoe area still has the power
to lure travelers from near and far, thanks to its
award-winning ski resorts, high-energy casinos,
year-round opportunities for outdoor adventure
and, of course, the waters of “Big Blue.”

WHAT TO DO During the summer months,
there are nearly limitless recreation opportunities
in and around the lake. Hiking, mountain biking and
fishing are just the beginning of the outdoor fun.
With visibility up to a depth of 75 feet in the lake
and abundant beaches, the pristine waters beckon
boaters and sportsmen. Numerous golf courses
dot the landscape, and casinos and resorts bring
an exciting edge to a Tahoe visit, with the venues
typically hosting concerts and other special events.
Festivals celebrate interests including arts, music
and theater, wine and more. The area offers a little
something for everyone, from scenic paddleboat
rides to 5K and family walk/run races along the
lake, farmer’s markets, beach concerts, live theatre,
exhilarating nightlife, gaming, art walks and more.

Every home must have… a hangar if you are a pilot, a studio if you are an artist, or an office if you
work from home. We have been designing vacation homes for years. But, now with telecommuting, more
of our clients are finding ways to live, work and play in their main residences. Currently, we are designing a
series of hangar homes. These homes are designed for private pilots at their own private airport. The building
massing has been a design challenge, as the scale of people and airplanes are quite different. But, we’ve
been having a lot of fun researching the history of aviation and taking a few flights ourselves.

wild gooSe ranch in Steamboat SpringS
ST
ANNUAL
Set in the Striking landScape of Steamboat SpringS, colorado,
the Wild Goose Ranch is an authentic interpretation of Western tradition infused with modern-day amenities. With a nod
to ranch homes of a bygone era, the residence comprises three buildings connected by light-drenched enclosed walkways.
Renewable energy sources and energy-efficient design elements are in place throughout the project. Agricultural ponds
dot the property, referencing its history, while nearby, a timber-frame barn hosts a variety of community events sponsored
by the civic-minded homeowners. Kelly & Stone Architects created the original master plan for this energy-efficient
showpiece, as well as the design for the main residence and barn. A member of the United States Green Building Council,
the award-winning firm is dedicated to incorporating sustainable building solutions into their residential and commercial
projects. Stunning examples of their work can be seen throughout the mountain west.
