This contract is more than just a win for our team – it’s a groundbreaking success in the ski and mountain worker industry. This effort demonstrates what can be achieved when workers stand together and fight for what they deserve, said Seth Dromgoole, the lead negotiator and a 17-year patroller at Park City.
Bill Rock, president of Vail Resorts' Mountain Division, stated that the agreement is consistent with our company's wage structure for all patrollers, non-unionized and unionized, while accounting for the unique terrain and avalanche complexity of Park City Mountain.
The strike hobbling the largest U.S. ski resort during a busy holiday period sparked online fury about deepening economic inequality in rural mountain areas.
The most experienced patrollers will receive an average increase of $7.75 per hour, and the agreement also expands parental leave policies for the workers, providing industry-leading educational opportunities, according to the union.
