Slope Search is a smarter way to plan ski and snowboard trips without the usual hassle. It brings together lift ticket prices, resort info, and key trip details in one clean, easy-to-use experience. Built for snow lovers. Designed for anyone tired of clicking through five tabs just to find a decent price.
Buried in Tabs? So Were We.
We talked to real users trying to plan real trips with their friends. The result? A tangle of open tabs, outdated websites, and group chats full of “wait, who’s booking?” No one felt confident and no one had control. So we fixed that.
The Solution: Slope Search
Slope Search was built to make ski trip planning actually work. No tabs to juggle. No spreadsheets. No group chat chaos. Just one place to compare resorts, browse lift tickets, and plan a trip without losing track of who’s in.
The design is simple on purpose. Clean layout. Smart filters. Easy flows that don’t require a tutorial. It works whether you’re booking for yourself or trying to organize five friends who “might go” but haven’t bought anything yet.
Where It Got Complicated
Designing the search bar was one of the hardest parts of this project. Every resort uses different age brackets for lift ticket pricing. Some have “Child,” “Youth,” and “Adult,” while others split by exact ages or bundle categories like “Senior” or “Teen.” There was no standard.
The challenge was to create one simple search input that could handle all of that without confusing the user. The goal was to let people compare prices across resorts, no matter how each one defines its age groups.
What I landed on was a clean, three-field bar: location, date, and number of people. Behind the scenes, age data is mapped to each resort’s structure. On the surface, the interface stays fast and human-friendly. No friction. No dropdown overwhelm. Just a search bar that works the way people think.
My Role
This product was designed with intention. From early wireframes to final UI, every screen went through focused testing, fast iteration, and way too many conversations about button placement. The end result is a flow that feels natural, even for the friend who never knows what day it is.
Behind The Screens
Before the pixels, there were Post-its. Every idea started in my sketchbook, planned out before it ever made it to the screen. This is where the early work lives. Rough sketches, UI experiments, ideas that worked, and plenty that didn’t. It’s the process that shaped Slope Search into something real. No polish here, just the work that made it happen.
Slope Search was a one-person effort from start to finish. Every layout, line, and design choice was the result of hands-on work, crafted with intention at every step.
Slope Search in the Wild
To bring the brand off-screen, we created a series of outdoor ads that show up loud and clear. Whether it’s a billboard, a bus stop, or a city construction wrap, the goal was to make Slope Search feel real and relevant. Simple visuals, strong headlines, and just enough confidence to get noticed.
Fresh Gear for the Frost
Good branding should live everywhere, so we made sure it could. Skis, boards, hoodies, beanies, and jackets were all designed as natural extensions of the brand. If it didn’t feel like something you'd actually wear in the lift line, we scrapped it.
