Alf Engen Ski Museum came to Unrivaled seeking a new interactive exhibit. They wanted their patrons to get a sense of what it feels like to ski the world-class powder in Utah’s backyard. From conceptualization to fabrication we delivered an exhibit that is the next-best-thing to actually strapping on a pair of skis and taking a run down a steep, snow-covered mountain face.

Solution

We designed the Ski Experience exhibit to use an actual 4-person chair lift that sits atop a custom-programmed 2-axis motion base platform. Every movement of the motion base mimics what riders are seeing projected on the large screen in front of them. Snow and wind machines along with sound effects make for a fully orchestrated experience as snow sprays in riders faces as the skis catch an edge on a tight turn and stomachs drop as they are jostled around in sync with the rocky, icy terrain of the run.
