Vail Resorts is facing backlash as the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association strikes over wage disputes, causing service disruptions and raising concerns about the consolidation of ski resorts.
Vail Resorts shares have dropped in recent weeks as a labor dispute roiled one of America’s most prominent skiing destinations. The Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association, a union representing patrollers at the Utah mountain of the same name, went on strike late last month. The work stoppage has spurred complaints of long lines, closures and delays on social media from patrons on costly ski trips.
“Our wages and benefits are strong, as demonstrated by the high return rate among patrol teams across our company and by the number of applicants we get for any patrol opening,” Bill Rock, president of Vail Resorts’ Mountain Division, said in the statement. “Still, we remain committed to reaching an agreement that demonstrates the great respect we have for our patrollers.” Vail resumed mediation with the union on Monday, according to a Park City representative.
