Ski patrollers at Park City Mountain Resort will be going back to work after a strike that lasted almost two weeks.

The patrollers’ union reached a settlement with Vail Resorts, the resort’s managing company, on Wednesday.

The union expressed satisfaction with the new agreement, highlighting improvements in wages and benefits that aim to encourage employee retention and professional advancement. They announced on social media, “This contract is not just a win for us; it sets a positive precedent for the entire ski and mountain industry. It shows the strength of collective action among workers advocating for their rights.”

Management from Park City has recognized the new agreement and is eager to reopen more skiing areas as soon as the patrollers are back at work on Thursday.

Vail Resorts’ Mountain Division President Bill Rock stated, “We are excited to have the Park City Mountain patrollers return and to work collaboratively as one team. We apologize to our guests for the disruption caused by the strike and are deeply grateful to those who worked tirelessly to keep our mountains operational and safe during this period.”
