One of the wildest ski industry moments this year? The Park City Ski Patrol strike. 🚨🎿
On December 27, patrollers walked off the job over stalled contract talks with Vail Resorts—demanding better pay, safer conditions, and respect. It was the first patrol strike of its kind in over 50 years.
Vail flew in replacements from other mountains, but it didn’t work. Huge chunks of terrain stayed closed. Lift lines exploded. And thousands of holiday ski trips were upended.
The strike ended after 12 days—but now Vail faces a class-action lawsuit from guests who say they weren’t warned. This wasn’t just a labor fight—it was a wake-up call for the entire industry.
