Best Time to Go!

A data-driven platform focused on using visualizations to help you plan your next ski trip

Description

The objective of this project was to create a tool that allows users to determine the best time and place to go on a ski trip based on historical temperature and snowfall data, ticket prices, location, and group-pass eligibility. Explore data visualization techniques to aid user decision-making.

Techniques

  • data visualization
  • user research
  • interaction design

Tools

  • D3
  • Flask
  • Tableau

Outcome

Developed a primary dashboard using D3 and Leaflet that allows user to filter ski resorts meeting their preferences. Once filtered, users can explore linked visualizations to examine trade-offs between resorts. Drilling to a specific resort, users can see all resort-specific data include historical weather patterns.
