Powder Mountain Terrain Model
We built a large topography model for Powder Haven at Powder Mountain, bringing the resort plan and surrounding mountain landscape into one display.
Bringing the mountain into the presentation
Bringing the mountain into the presentation The brief called for ski runs, roads, parking, homes, lodges and lot lines across the mountain terrain. A spring landscape, with touches of snow at the highest elevations, gives the display its character. We built the large model in sections for transport and on-site assembly, bringing the full mountain setting together in the finished display.

Presenting a resort plan within mountain terrain
The Powder Haven model places ski runs, roads, parking, homes, lodges and lot lines across the mountain landscape. Seasonal color and touches of snow at higher elevations help distinguish areas of the terrain. Because the model is large, it was built in sections for transport and then assembled on site. This project shows how a topography model can also communicate a real estate development plan when proposed buildings and infrastructure need to be read in the context of the land.
