Crowds congregate annually at the base of the ‘Smart Alec’ ski trail in Ontario to watch the province’s finest freestyle skiers and snowboarders perform choreographed flips and tricks off the 50-foot Big Air Jump, accompanied by music, lights, fireworks, and all manner of show sizzle.
To provide this for the Big Air Show, as the event is known, required the building of a technical infrastructure, with towers rigged with 24 of GLP’s ultra-versatile JDC1 hybrid strobes so that spectators could track the action coming down the 200ft slope and onto the landing ramp. The FOH position itself was set 50 feet back, behind the video screen.
