The Uber newsroom is on frenzy this week. So, apologies if most of the news spaces here on this website is with Uber. Remember when Ridesharing Forum featured Uber helicopters for tourists in Capri, Italy? This time, they’re launching the Uber Ski. Here’s the scoop.
Uber Ski for the win!
Whether you’re headed for skiing in Zermatt, Switzerland, or perhaps in the Whistler Blackcomb in Canada, Uber is there for you.
For the first time ever, Uber is taking you to your favorite ski destinations. Uber Ski is where riders got the ability to reserve or order vehicles with larger trunk space, provided that you reserve up to 90 days in advance.
Who is willing to travel by train when you’re carrying that big backpacker’s bag, or your ski equipment and gear, right? Paired with the Epic Pass, passengers and tourists have seamless access to nearly 40 of the top mountains not just in the USA and Canada, but also in Europe!
Popular travel magazine Travel + Leisure says, “Uber Ski gets you to the slopes hassle-free with gear-friendly rides and Epic Pass integration,” as it should be.
Under this deal, Uber is teaming up with the world’s largest operator of mountain resorts, Vail Resorts, for a seamless integration that lets you book an Uber Reserve and avail yourself that Epic Pass, guess what? Directly via the Uber app!
“The holidays can be hectic – from flights, to family visits, and all the shopping in between. That’s why we’re rolling out a series of new products and features to help make this season less stressful and more joyful. From vacation planning, to airport rides, and of course gifting, Uber has you covered this holiday season,” stated Uber newsroom official. As winter approaches and millions prepare their skis and boards for mountain adventures, Uber is introducing a new seasonal offering to help you reach your favorite winter destinations worldwide: Uber Ski.”
Best skiing destinations in the world
To complement your skiing experience with Uber, Ridesharing Forum has curated three of the best skiing destinations in the world, starting with Zermatt in Switzerland. Yes, the inspiration of Toblerone.
Zermatt is a town beneath and at the foot of the Matterhorn, the Toblerone hill. It offers some of the globe’s most reliable snow and highest pistes in the European continent.
Tourists could carve through long, scenic runs that cross into Italy, then unwind in cosy mountain huts serving rösti and fondue. If you prefer to tone down your skiing aspirations, you may enjoy winter hiking trails, picturesque car-free streets, and the Gornergrat railway for panoramic glacier views.
Second is miles away from Switzerland. Lose yourself in Japan, specifically in Niseko. Niseko is famous for its deep, dry, powder-rich snow that draws skiers seeking soft, playful terrain. The four interlinked resorts offer tree runs, backcountry access, and excellent night skiing. After a day on the slopes, travellers can relax in natural onsens, explore Hirafu’s lively dining scene, or join guided snowshoe walks across peaceful volcanic landscapes.
Of course, Whistler Blackcomb, the biggest ski resort in North America. This ski destination is leveling up skiing for all interested leisurely travelers, from high alpine bowls to family-friendly greens.
Travelers may try heli-skiing, ziplining through snowy forests, or snowmobiling to mountain viewpoints. Its pedestrian village buzzes with après-ski lounges, art museums, and spas, making it a complete winter getaway. For more ridesharing news, keep browsing this Ridesharing Forum site!
