Lighted special course
"Swatch Nines Snow" is an international action sports event where world-class skiers and snowboarders gather to showcase creative performances on a specially designed course. Unlike typical competitions that focus on rankings and wins, this event is characterized by challenging new expressions and tricks, and broadcasting those moments to the world. This event, which has been held mainly in Europe for many years, was held in Asia for the first time this year.
Lighting creates an immersive atmosphere at the venue
At this event, Panasonic EW was responsible for the lighting production of the special course, which athletes were involved in designing through workshops. They individually controlled 35 full-color lights, preparing multiple lighting production patterns. A system was built to flexibly select patterns according to performance and situation. They implemented a lighting design that not only simply lit up the special course but also further enhanced the appeal of skiing and tricks.

Panasonic EW will continue to leverage its advanced lighting fixtures and lighting design technology to propose spatial solutions that create new experiential value, while also considering energy conservation.
