Hit the slopes with Uber Ski to reach your favorite winter destinations worldwide as ski season has officially arrived in the northern hemisphere.
Hit the Slopes With Uber Ski
Getting to the mountains with your friends, skis, snowboards, and other equipment can be an ordeal unto itself. Enter Uber Ski, which is a new service from Uber that lets riders reserve a vehicle large enough to accommodate up to four people straight to the slopes. Additionally, Epic Pass and lift tickets can be conveniently purchased directly through Uber.
How Uber Ski works is as follows:
- Book ahead: Uber Ski is part of Uber Reserve; so your ride to and from the slopes can be reserved up to 90 days in advance, now through the end of March of 2026.
Choose your ride: Open your mobile software application program and tap the Uber Ski tile. You will have the option to reserve an UberXL for up to two guests with gear; or UberXXL for up to four guests with gear. You can reserve up to 90 days in advance. - Epic access: Tap Epic Pass in the mobile software application program to see all of your options — as with Epic Pass, you get the ultimate season-long pass offering unlimited, unrestricted access to top ski destinations across the globe. Skiing just a few days? Epic Day Passes that are good for one day to seven days save up to 65 percent off of lift tickets; and pass holders receive exclusive discounts — including 20 percent off on-mountain food and beverage, lodging, group lessons, equipment rentals, and more.
Send a Ride, Spread the Cheer
Send a ride: Uber is beginning to roll out a new ‘Send a Ride’ feature in its mobile software application program, which is a stress-free way to cover an Uber ride for someone else — in just a few taps. It is perfect for covering the trip of a loved one home from the airport, an Uber for your babysitter, or getting your parents to family dinner on time.
- How it works: Simply set the number of rides and your spending limit — for example, two rides up to $50.00 each — Uber will generate a unique link that you can send to the rider through any messaging program. Once the rider taps the link, the credit is saved to their Uber Wallet and automatically applied to their next trip. You only pay for what they use.
Save Big on Airport Rides this Holiday Season
Expanding Uber Share at Airports: Your Uber ride is the one leg of the journey we do not want you to worry about — despite any delays or cancellations of flights.
- Uber announcing: As Uber continues to build out its portfolio of affordable airport offerings, Uber Share is being launched at John F. Kennedy International, LaGuardia Airport, and Orlando International Airport. Building on recent expansions in Boston, Chicago at Midway Airport, and Dallas Love Field — plus rollouts internationally — Uber Share at airports is now available at greater than 50 airports worldwide.
- Sharing is caring: With Uber Share at Airports, travelers can be matched with just one other rider getting picked up from the airport and heading in a similar direction and save up to 25 percent compared to their UberX fare — even if they are not paired with a co-rider.
Final Boarding Call
Uber Ski is a viable option if you enjoy hitting the slopes with friends and your ski equipment this winter without having to worry about how to get there and back.
