Transforming the Mountain Experience Through Mobile Innovation

A premier North American ski resort network operating multiple world-class mountain destinations needed to scale its mobile development capacity to support an ambitious digital transformation roadmap. Their flagship mobile application served millions of winter sports enthusiasts each year and played a critical role in the on-mountain experience.

The app supported a wide range of mission-critical features, including contactless lift access, interactive trail navigation with real-time lift wait predictions, personalized performance tracking, integrated emergency services, ski school management, and live mountain conditions. As the product continued to evolve, the client required experienced React Native developers who could integrate seamlessly with internal teams, meet the high-quality expectations of a premium audience, and sustain continuous deployment cycles during peak winter seasons. Ensuring platform stability across iOS and Android was essential, as any downtime directly impacted guest satisfaction and on-mountain safety.

Sancrisoft supported the client through a long-term staff augmentation model, embedding a dedicated team of senior React Native developers directly into the internal engineering workflow. Over a 2.5-year collaboration, the team worked alongside in-house engineers to scale mobile development capacity while maintaining the stability required for a mission-critical consumer application.

Together, the teams delivered key features that elevated the on-mountain experience, including contactless digital lift access, interactive trail maps with GPS tracking and real-time lift wait information, personalized performance analytics, and integrated emergency ski patrol support using location data. Additional functionality supported ski school operations through lesson scheduling and digital check-ins, while live mountain conditions were delivered through weather data and camera feeds. Built on React Native, Node.js, and TypeScript, the platform sustained continuous deployment cycles and ongoing innovation without compromising reliability across iOS and Android.

Sancrisoft helped scale the client’s mobile development capabilities while delivering a complex, high-traffic consumer application used by millions of winter sports enthusiasts across multiple resort destinations.
