This August, the core of a classic Big Sky mountain bike race, Lone Peak’s Revenge, will be joining the Montana Enduro Series for a race billed as taking place on “some of the most rugged and scenic alpine terrain you will find in a mountain bike enduro this side of the Alps.”
Lone Peak’s Revenge—which was originally spawned by Gallatin Alpine Sports as two races, one downhill and one cross-country—turned into an enduro race in 2013, the same year a nonprofit named the Montana Bicycling Guild was hatched to produce the MES.
Now in its third year, MES has folded the Big Sky event into its series. MES caps each race at 100 competitors; Big Sky’s Aug. 7 test is expected to fill up like the three preceding stops in the series.
Although the overall character of the course remains the same, the particulars change from year to year, said Lisa Curry, who’s promoting the race. There are lift-accessed portions of the course as well as plenty of human-powered climbs up roads and trails.
“There will be a combination of really technical speed trails and a little bit of flow trail,” Curry said, adding the course will zip up and down Andesite before cutting over to the north side of Lone Mountain. The details of the course will be revealed the evening of Aug. 3.
“Having done most of the stops on the [Montana] Enduro Series, Big Sky is going to be [one] of the gnarliest,” Curry said. “It’s going to test people, which will be great.”
As of EBS press time, registration for the race was still open. There are four categories: pro/expert, sport, junior and masters. Visit montanaenduro.com/bigsky2016 for more information or to register.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
