Outdoor Leadership Retreat - Squaw Valley Resort

Take picturesque Squaw Valley ski slope and now imagine a major leadership conference for an outdoor retailer and you get an amazing installation
and build site location with lots of challenges to overcome. Check out this video of the complete site installation.

Site Challenges and requirements:

The site dimensions just barely fit the desired space needs of the conference so GuildWorks had to very carefully analyze and plan around the topography.
The installation involved careful planning of anchor locations that went up the hill on one side and down the ravine on the other, all in a field filled with solid granite boulders
Limited space and tricky terrain made equipment use challenging and required careful planning to sequence construction so that we could access all points before the staging made it impossible.
Design had very specific video screen and sound rigging needs to allow for the screen to go up and down without disturbing fabric shade.

GuildWorks was proud to work with Elliott Bay Productions who managed the event, here's what they had to say about our work:

"Guildworks is an incredibly competent, skillful, creative bunch that collaborates well and delivers exceptional, one of a kind environments without compromise to safety. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with them on creating and executing just such an environment on the side of a mountain in Lake Tahoe, California."
