Strike on the Slopes: Park City Ski Patrol Protests for Higher Wages

Park City's ski patrol workers strike for higher wages, affecting operations at the U.S.'s largest ski resort. The union demands a $23 hourly wage, while Vail Resorts reports that most demands have been met. Despite the ongoing strike, Park City remains open, servicing only annual pass holders.

Holiday skiers at Park City, the largest ski resort in the U.S., face delays as ski patrol workers commence a strike for higher wages.

Close to 200 employees are demanding a raise in the entry-level base wage from $21 to $23 an hour, as operational challenges arise during the peak ski week.

Despite the strike, Park City remains operational, attended by a reduced number of ski patrol staff, and is exclusively open to annual pass holders this week.
