The multinational
ride-sharing company has introduced a new service called ‘Uber Ski’. There were many speculations about this solution. Some
even advanced it will be a ski-sharing facility that would allow you to have
fun via electric bikes and scooters.
However, that is
not the case. It is a way for those using Uber to request a vehicle that will
take them to and from slopes. The best part about this is that it will have
enough room for your skis, snowboards and other equipment. Those who were
planning to go skiing during the holidays will be pleased to know that Uber Ski
is already available at 23 locations across the US. Some of these are Alaska, Massachusetts, Colorado or
Washington.
If you are in
these places, you will see an Uber Ski icon on the ‘ride request’ page.
Choosing this option will allow you to ‘order’ a vehicle that can transport
additional gear. However, you will have to pay an extra fee for this service.
Moreover, drivers
having a suitable vehicle, a large interior or a truck bed, can sign up for
this service. To motivate them to join the program, Uber is going to pay a portion of
the riders’ surcharge.
