The Virginia Meissner Snow Park located outside of Bend, Oregon, is a US Forest Service park with year around use, such as, hiking, biking, skiing and snow shoeing, to name a few. The area features 40 km of trails, stunning views and a variety of terrain for both classic and skate skiing. The Meissner Nordic Club , a chapter of Oregon Nordic Club, grooms the trails four days per week from December 1 through March 31 as well as sponsoring various ski related activities at the facility.
The Meissner Application was designed to provide accurate up-to-date information to the users which would allow them to make decisions about where and when to use the park, determine distances or conditions of trails, current weather, detailed trail terrain map and Google map locations.
The application was made possible with the assistance of the following individuals:
- Kevin English - Director of Communications for TCL/Meissner Nordic - User Requirements and Design
- Mike Ross - Tumalo Graphics - Graphics
- TLC Meissner Membership - Beta Testers
- Sarah Brosier - Functional Testing
