How I transformed Sweden's largest ski resort app from outdated to award-worthy

The Breif

SkiStar needed their app ready for a new ski season with fresh features. In my role as UI Designer, I saw an opportunity to do more than just add functionality - I gave the entire experience a complete visual makeover.

Premium and playful

I used their beautiful slope maps as the foundation for a new illustration style that feels both premium and playful.

Adding the Mountain for each destination made it both functional and beautiful - Instead of just reading 'Åre' or 'Sälen', users could instantly identify their resort while feeling the excitement of the mountain experience.

Profile with stats

Redesigned the entire profile experience around a stunning lift station illustration

Users can now seamlessly connect their ski cards to track rides, compare vertical meters with friends, and see their mountain achievements come to life through clean data visualization and gamified leaderboards.

Impact

The redesign wasn't just about looking good - it was about creating an app that skiers actually love using. From 2.8 to 4.1 stars some years later proves that great UI design directly impacts user satisfaction.
