The venue location for the Mountain Jam<\/strong> festival is simply breathtaking. The Hunter Mountain resort provides a beautiful backdrop and 360 view, and overlooks Dolans Lake. Venues like this are perfect for music festivals, and the incredible views become part of the entire festival experience. Mountain Jam is now in its 11th<\/sup> year, and continues to feature big name talent, this year including Beck, Wilco, Gov\u2019t Mule, The Avett Brothers and many more. Mountain Productions provided staging<\/a> and additional equipment<\/a> for the weekend festival for the third year in a row.<\/p>\n

An obvious characteristic of Hunter Mountain is the grade of the venue grounds. Mountain Productions\u2019 engineering was able to provide drawings to build all structures on the mountain\u2019s grade, despite being extreme in some spots. The main stage at Mountain Jam is a massive Mountain Truss System built with an 80\u2019 x 47\u2019 performance area, 20\u2019 wide audio wings and 61\u2019 of height from the deck to the top of the roof.<\/p>\n

The Mountain Truss main stage contained two 10\u2019 x 28\u2019 onstage \u201cfloating\u201d VIP areas for special guests, and custom built stair access to each VIP. On the downstage stage left edge of main stage, Mountain setup an SL-250 as the Mountain Jam side stage.<\/p>\n

Along with the main and side stages, Mountain Productions built spot towers, camera platforms, ADA platforms, and the main 53\u2019 x 56\u2019 House VIP riser. The FOH structure was our Rolling Roof Front of House style mix with a custom scaffold wall standing behind it.<\/p>\n
