"The headache of planning a ski trip stands in sharp contrast to the freedom of effortlessly slicing down the slopes once you actually get up the mountain. If you're tired of worrying about squeezing all of that gear into your car or wrestling with chains in the cold, Uber's latest option for getting you to the slopes is one way to go."
"Through a partnership with Vail Resorts, Uber is offering an option to buy an Epic Pass through the app. The Epic Pass, sold by Colorado ski giant Vail, is one of the big two multi-resort passes that avid skiers and snowboarders buy each season to unlock access to a huge swath of slopes. (The other option, the Ikon Pass by Vail's rival Alterra Mountain Company, isn't available through the Uber app.)"
Uber now allows users to purchase Vail Resorts' Epic Pass through the Uber app and book rides to mountain resorts via Uber Ski. The Epic Pass grants unlimited access to Vail, Breckenridge, Park City, Heavenly and Whistler Blackcomb. A main adult pass currently costs $1,121 with prices rising closer to opening day. Some limited passes offer discounted multiple mountain days compared with single lift-ticket pricing, but purchases through the app carry no additional perks. After Epic Pass sales end in December, Uber users can buy single-day lift tickets to Vail resorts through the app. Uber continues to offer specially outfitted Uber Ski rides.
