SummitPass Expeditions

Adventure booking platform for certified mountain guides with live weather telemetry and automated cancellation refunds.

Case study

Problem

High-altitude mountain expeditions require rigorous guide certification vetting, medical intake waivers, and complex weather safety refund rules.

Solution

Horizon Labs engineered an adventure booking engine with conditional medical approval workflows, satellite beacon check-ins, and weather contingencies.

Delivered as a 45-day fixed-price sprint.

Outcome

Delivered in 45 days ($17,500–$26,000 ceiling). Enabled mountain guide operators to coordinate complex high-altitude expeditions with required gear checklists, satellite communicator check-ins, and multi-currency deposits.
