I'll be building a decent sized installation this year, and am looking for any and all help in planning/design. The idea is pretty simple, really. I've collected about 200 skis, and will be installing them in a vertical positon on the playa to create a field of skis approximately 100 feet by 300 feet. The center of the field will include an area for reflection, a couple of benches, and a solitary pair of skis that belonged to a friend.

I've tentatively decided to mount the skis on the playa by driving 3 foot rebar stakes into the ground about 2 feet deep, and using the remaining 1 foot section to bolt to the ski tail. I'll be drilling four holes in the ski and fitting with 2 u-bolts with nuts and plates.

So, my questions are:

Do you think this approach will work?
Will the wind be too strong for rebar stakes, are the stakes going deep enough, is 1 foot long enough on the ski?
What's the best way, within a reasonable budget, to drive the rebar?
How would you light the project at night?
What else should I be considering?
