Park City Mountain ski patrol strike ends in Utah

The ski patrol strike at the Park City resort in Utah ended Thursday after the mountain's owners agreed to a wage hike of $2 an hour for 200 union employees.

Members of the Park City Mountain ski patrol in Utah were back at work Thursday after the resort agreed to raise their pay by $2 an hour, ending a 13-day strike that forced long wait times for ski lifts and frustrated hundreds of customers.

The new contract, which will stay in effect through 2027, gives entry-level ski patrollers and mountain safety employees a starting salary of $23 an hour, according to the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association, which represents 200 employees at the country's largest ski resort.

Experienced members of the ski patrol will earn an additional $4 an hour on average, the union said.

“The tentative agreement addresses both parties’ interests and will end the current strike, the resort and the union said Thursday in a joint statement. "Everyone looks forward to restoring normal resort operations.”

Members of the ski patrol conduct mountain safety operations, such as avalanche mitigation, and respond to medical emergencies.
