Shoulder Season is a mobile application that provides hikers the resources to accurately predict trail conditions and safely prepare for their next adventure. The term "shoulder season" refers to the transition period between seasons. Spring is a great example - the conditions are wet, dry, muddy, snowy, and icy all on one trail! Hikers need a reliable source to check trail and weather conditions when planning their hike. The current resources are unreliable and unfilterable. Through interviews, surveys, competitor analysis, affinity mapping, persona building, user flow and site map organization I created the perfect solution: a mobile application where users can check the weather at both base camp and the summit, read and search for specific mountain and trial reports, and even write their own to contribute. Included in this project is all the research, wireframes, branding and screen designs. Take a look at the working prototype.
