Meet Claire

Q6 · RequiredImagine an AI named Claire. You text: "I want a quiet hike near water, easy difficulty, within 45 mins of me." Claire replies instantly with 3 trail options, current weather, and a packing list. How valuable is that to you?

Not valuable — I'd rather figure it out myself

Nice to have, but not a game-changer

Extremely valuable — I would use this every week

Please select an answer.

Q7If Claire could also book your campsite, reserve rental gear, and add the trip to your calendar automatically — would you trust it?

No — I prefer to control all of that myself

Maybe — I'd want to review everything before it confirms

Maybe — as long as I can still manage and cancel

Yes — take my money and save me the time

Q8Which feature would most effectively kill your "I don't know where to go" excuse?

A standard trail map — like AllTrails

A personalized itinerary builder based on my mood and energy level that day

A live feed of what locals are actually doing right now

Community

Q9Do you believe a dedicated community can solve problems that money alone can't — like sharing gear, teaching skills, or making the outdoors safer for beginners?

No — I prefer to rely on myself

Somewhat — depends on the community

Yes, absolutely — that's the whole point

Q10The Gear Locker: would you rent trusted gear from a verified community member — say, snowshoes from a neighbor for $10 instead of a shop for $30?

Never — I only trust gear from a shop

Unlikely

Likely — if they were verified

Very likely — that's a no-brainer

Q11Would you lend your own idle gear to verified community members if the platform provided insurance and guarantees?

Yes

Q12Trail Buddy: if the app matched you with someone based on shared skill level, pace, and interests — like a platonic outdoor dating app — would you use it?

No — that feels weird to me

Maybe — I'd try it once

Yes — that solves a huge problem for me

Willingness to Pay

Q13How much do you currently spend per year on outdoor subscriptions — Gaia GPS, Strava, OnX, AllTrails, etc.?

$0 — I don't pay for any

$1–$50

$50–$100

$100+ — I invest in my time outside

Q14If YourMountains gave you the AI Concierge, Gear Locker, and verified community events — what's the most you'd pay per month?

FreeAd-supported only

$4.99per month

$9.99per month

$14.99per month

Q15How would you prefer to pay?

Monthly subscription — predictable and simple

Pay per use — only when I actually book something

Who Are You?

Q16How would you describe your outdoor skill level?

Beginner — I want to start getting outside

Intermediate — weekend warrior

Expert — I know what I'm doing out there

Q17 · Select all that applyDo you identify with any of these communities?

Parent / Family Adventurer

Adaptive Athlete / Mobility Challenges

None of the above

Q18 · OptionalWhat is the one thing keeping you inside right now that we haven't asked about?
