PowTrips

For the past 15 years, I have been meeting up with friends from around the world to snowboard. Organizing that kind of trip can be complicated. Pow Pow makes the process easier by pulling in data from weather, ski resorts and nearby hotels.

Global Forecast

It’s always snowing somewhere. PowTime leverages weather from around the world to track storms and give forecasts.

Getting Started

If the user doesn’t want to use the global forecast, they can choose to access a directory of resorts to see a quick breakdown of recent snow, the forecast, snow cams, flight cost, and lodging availability.

The detail view of the resort shows bit more information including whether or not there are cat skiing and helicopter operations nearby.

Most resorts fabricate current conditions to get more customers to their resort, so we wanted to find a better way to show authenticity and build trust through an unbiased snow report. First, we show a history of recorded snowfall to try and help the user determine the best month to go. Second, we plan to connect with local ambassadors who give honest, accurate reading of the conditions. We can also tap into feeds of photos to keep content fresh.
