Saying it recognizes affordable housing is “the highest priority for staff experience,” Deer Valley Resort told The Salt Lake Tribune that it plans to nearly double its employee housing by the end of the decade.
Numerous mattresses cover the floor where 12 foreign students from Argentina who came to Park City to work on J-1 visas describe their living conditions for the past two months on Monday, Jan. 30, 2023. Because of lack of housing, they have been living in a one-bedroom apartment, paying $12,000 a month in rent.
“We all know affordable housing is the highest priority for the staff experience,” Deer Valley spokesperson Emily Summers told The Tribune. “And we want it to be in town, close to the resort.” Seasonal workers are Park City’s lifeblood, especially during the winter ski season. Many of them come from the Southern Hemisphere on student cultural exchange visas, also known as J-1s. They are mostly on their own to find housing, which can be nearly impossible in Park City’s already anemic rental market. Earlier this season, The Tribune reported on a group ofDeer Valley employs about 3,000 people each winter, Summers said.
“Hopefully that’ll gain traction and be more desirable to community members to participate in next year,” Summers said. “And have more businesses [join in].”
