I have been watching my Uber app all day today and have not seen a surge over $5.00 the entire day, somethings going on, usually at least the airport gets up to $7-8 between 4-5PM on a Friday night, will see how downtown does later tonight.... but I think there is something hinky going on, even PC hasn’t gotten above $3.00 surge

I drove for 8 hrs today, $96, normally I would make about $150-175 in that same 8 hrs, and the surges are way lower than they used to be... highest I saw today was $5.75 at the airport...seems like something hinky is going on

Yea. Drove Sunday as those have been very good driving days past few months. PC was rather quite. Took an airport and hoped to get a return ride back up. That didn't happen and didn't feel like deadheading it back up there.
Might start rolling into the end of ski season how warm it's been and then back to "normal" fares.

Are you all just X or XL?
odd but when I roll out after 10, can get over $200 in a few hours (both U/L) vs starting before 7am.
I have both an X and an XL I drive. Depending on what the wife is doing and what is going on. So many factors to how things can go, and the luck of the draw on rides sometimes as well. Haven't looked at my numbers for yesterday, but my per hour I know wasn't all that great (for Sunday). Was tired also so wasn't really trying hard either and I could have made a couple different decisions probably would have helped. And there must have been no XL in Park City yesterday. I don't know how many XL rides I turned down from Main Street or Deer Valley when I was in Kimballs. Like 15-20. Not driving all that way for a base fare on Lyft. Finally took a surge ride to airport on Uber and then never made it back up to PC.

Friday $28/hr
Saturday $41/hr
Sunday $22/hr :(

Did ok for the week overall, avg $28/hr.

This will be St Pats weekend so should be busy Friday and Saturday.
Jazz game tonight, Friday (Pelicans), Saturday and next Monday (Lakers).
Snow (we can only hope) predicted for next Sunday-Wed right now. See if that remains the case (I hope it does!).

Might be a bit slower this week. But the weekend and if it snows next week should be hopping.

Folks should also take into account once ski season does end (mid April), things will slow. Park City won't be the big money maker most of the time like it is right now. Airport slows a bit. etc. So, it's good to prepare and be thinking about strats for the end of ski season.

PC was definitely lower surge than I'm normally used to this weekend. The only reason I pulled in a decent amount is because I had a puker. I was able to clean it up in about 20 minutes but Uber paid me $150.

I ended up doing a larger proportion of Lyft than I have in a long time.
