01 The brief
Skiforeningen is Norway's iconic ski association — promoting outdoor life since 1883. Their site does a lot of jobs at once: trail reports, cabin bookings, membership, news, community. We rebuilt the surface to handle all of them without losing the institutional weight that a 140-year-old organisation carries.
02 The approach
01
Trail reports as the daily action
For most members, this site is checked once a week in winter and once a year for membership renewal. The home page promotes today's trail conditions above everything else, with a regional filter and a last-updated timestamp.
02
Cabin bookings, membership, and renewals on one rail
All transactional flows live behind a single account surface. Members renew, book a cabin, and update payment in three taps — instead of three separate microsites.
03
News + community photo galleries with the same template
Editorial articles and member photo galleries share one CMS schema. It removes the visual divide between 'official' content and 'community' content — a small move that matters for a member-driven organisation.
04
Partner showcases that respect the partners
Sponsors get a dedicated page with context, not a logo wall. For a civic organisation, the partner relationships are political — surfacing them properly is part of the institutional job.
