THE DEBUT OF BRC SNOW CLUB'S SKI SLOPE

Bringing you summertime sledding before heading to the Playa!

BRC Snow Club is building a ski slope in the desert. Lake Lahontan Ski Resort is a portable ski slope we're bringing to Burning Man this year as a proof-of-concept for something even bigger. Named after the ancient lakebed upon which it sits, Lake Lahontan Ski Resort is a 14-foot tall, 62-foot-long dry ski slope. Construction consists of a ring lock scaffold superstructure topped with reinforced plywood panels covered in an innovative dry ski material.

BRC Snow Club launched in 2021 as a social club to bring together fellow snow sport-loving Burners and build a community. In just a few months, the club grew to over 700 members and ski season was ending, so we decided to shift our focus to bringing the joy of snow sports to the Playa. Through the process of building the original camp, we discovered dry ski mats and began working on our [initially long-term] project: the ski slope installation we’re bringing to the Playa this year.

Sponsored by Point San Pablo Harbor:

Point San Pablo Harbor is a hidden destination marina overlooking San Pablo Bay in Richmond, California. It offers an escape from everyday urban life with a recreational public shoreline including a beach, an outdoor waterfront meadow and Clubhouse for concerts and private events, goats, chickens, BIG ART and Sailing Goat Restaurant serving up beer, wine, and organic, seasonal seafood dishes, wood-fired pizza, seafood stew, and salads.

Sweeping bay and sunset views, small marina, a few single story wood buildings and small farm with herd of goats and chickens give this special venue a rustic charm that transports you to a rural past much further away in feeling than in reality. The five BIG ART sculptures offer hours of curiosity and enjoyment as you walk along the waterfront to experience them all.
