Visitors were greeted with long lift lines and minimal open terrain at Park City ski resort when the ski patrol union went on strike. One dissatisfied guest has filed a class action lawsuit against parent company Vail Resorts,

Vail Resorts CEO Kirsten Lynch said Jan.16 the company is pleased to have reached an agreement with the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association, ending the nearly two-week strike over increased wages and benefits.

The lawsuit accuses Vail Resorts “intentionally and willfully deceived hundreds of thousands of consumers.” The ski patrol strike at Park City Mountain, Utah, is over, but now a lawsuit has been filed against Vail Resorts for allegedly not disclosing the strike's impacts.

The strike at Vail Resort's largest U.S. ski property lasted nearly two weeks and shined a spotlight on the growing union.

Over in Colorado, ski patrollers from Eldora and Loveland resorts demonstrated outside Vail’s headquarters in Broomfield, Colorado, On Dec. 30. On New Year’s Eve, unions at Breckenridge, Crested Butte and Keystone sent a letter to Vail demanding the company stop pressuring its patrollers to leave.

Fourth-year ski patroller Quinn Graves holds a sign during a recent demonstration held by the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association. The association said Tuesday it had reached a tentative agreement with Vail Resorts.

Park City Mountain ski patrol reached a tentative agreement to end their strike at the Vail Resorts-owned Utah ski destination and are scheduled to vote on the deal Wednesday. The nearly two-week work stoppage had created massive disruptions at one of the largest ski resorts in North America.

Park City Mountain Resort is offering credits to skiers who visited during a 13-day ski patrol strike that brought chaos to the mountain during the busy holiday tourism season. Why it matters: It's a significant — and rare — concession to customers in an industry that faces mounting accusations of greed as resort conglomerates eliminate their competition.
