RUCKUS IN THE ROCKIES
CORPORATE EVENTS CASE STUDY
CLIENT: Monster Energy – Coca Cola Inc.
VENUE:
Lake Louise Ski Lodge
Monster Energy first approached PK a to improve the production quality (especially the audio) of Monster events. The requirement was for a professional sound system capable of delivering concert quality production in remote areas – and to make a statement with customers while engaged recreational activities like snowboarding or skiing. On top of that, Monster had curated both a daytime concert on the hill and an evening wrap-up in the lodge, both requiring professional production services.
Our crew descended on the venue and delivered two fully integrated multimedia shows, both outside and inside. Each stage ran flawlessly, delivering concert-grade audio, lighting and video to spectators and patrons, despite 30cm of fresh snow from the night before, chilly temperatures and a very busy ski hill during peak season.
Challenges
- Entire production held in a remote mountain ski resort
- Set-up took place during normal operating hours with heavy public activity
- Unique and simultaneous indoor and outdoor setups
- Winter mountain conditions
- World-class artists, expecting world-class production in a remote location
- Strike needed to happen immediately after to resume normal operations
- Load in by snowmobiles, commercial croomers and other mountain equipment
- No loading dock, bay, or traditional loading area
- Insufficient, unconditioned, power
- 30cm of snow over install and operation
- White-out conditions during strike
