A strike by ski patrollers at Park City Mountain Resort in Utah has come to an end after both parties reached an agreement. The strike, which began on December 27th, was prompted by concerns over low wages compared to the high cost of living in the area. The agreement is expected to be voted on by the union members on Wednesday.
Ski patrollers at the biggest U.S. ski resort have reached a deal with Utah’s Park City Mountain Resort to end a strike that disrupted operations during the busy holiday season and into the new year. A joint statement from the ski patrollers’ union executive board said a vote was scheduled for Wednesday on an agreement “that addresses both parties’ interests and will end the current strike.
” “Everyone looks forward to restoring normal resort operations and moving forward together as one team,” it said. About 200 ski patrollers went on strike on Dec. 27 over wages they said were too low for high living costs. The resulting thin staffing at Utah’s Park City Mountain Resort, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) east of Salt Lake City in the Wasatch Range, left many runs closed and caused long lines for ski lifts. Some skiers were sympathetic, chanting “Pay your employees!” from lift lines in videos posted on social media. Pointing to steep inflation since 2022, the Park City Professional Ski Patrollers Association has been negotiating since March, seeking an increase from $21 to $23 an hour. The union says $27 is a livable wage in pricey Park City, which is also home to Deer Valley Resort. They also sought higher pay for the longest-serving ski patrollers. The current scale tops out after five years on the job
