Lone Mountain Ranch Web Site/Flash Trail Map
Bob Schaap, Lone Mountain Ranch Guest Ranch.

ROLE: Web site redesign, Flash Programming.


The Flash 4.0 Trail Map offers a unique experience of "being there" as actual images from points along the trails are presented, and the wind whistles in the background.

Overview:
The Lone Mountain Ranch web site is an extensive overview of all the services and programs this nationally-famous guest ranch offers in both it's summer season and the busy winter cross-country skiing season. The numerous navigation submenus stay hidden until accessed, and appear to be hanging under the gate as signage. This navigation system is accomplished with the innovative use of small framesets, rather than JavaScript, making it accessible to any browser that supports frames.

Project Highlights:
The interactive ski map is a streaming application that makes trail segments available as they are downloaded to the users' browser. Sound effects and interesting pull-down information panels evoke the feeling that the visitor is actually out previewing the trial system. ( With considerably less effort! )
