Utah ski patrol strike at Park City Mountain comes to a close


Members of the Park City Mountain ski patrol in Utah went on strike for 13 days to demand a pay increase. The strike caused long wait times for ski lifts and frustrated customers. However, the resort agreed to raise their pay by $2 an hour, ending the strike. The new contract, which will be in effect until 2027, gives entry-level ski patrollers a starting salary of $23 an hour. Experienced members will earn an additional $4 an hour on average.

During the strike, the resort operated at a limited capacity, upsetting guests who traveled long distances to visit. Some customers faced three-hour wait times for ski lifts and potentially unsafe conditions on the mountain. The strike ended after negotiations between the resort and the union, and both parties expressed their satisfaction with the agreement in a joint statement.

Members of the ski patrol are responsible for mountain safety, including avalanche mitigation and responding to medical emergencies. The resort officials and city officials were pleased that the strike had ended and looked forward to welcoming back the ski patrollers. Park City Mountain assured customers that more terrain would open quickly and that operations would return to normal.
