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.

Vail Resorts owns Park City Mountain, where the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association union went on strike during the 2024-25 holiday season.

Ski patrollers at Park City Mountain Resort are returning to work after nearly two weeks on strike. The union representing the patrollers came to an agreement with Vail Resorts, which manages the facility, on Wednesday.

Park City Mountain's ski patrollers approved a new contract with Vail Resorts, ending a 13-day strike. Ski patrol and mountain safety workers plan to return to the slopes Thursday. The new contract includes wage increases, parental leave policies, educational opportunities and a sustainable pay scale.

The nearly two-week strike hobbled the largest U.S. ski resort during a busy holiday period and sparked online fury about deepening economic inequality in rural mountain areas.

The Utah resort apologized over the disruption and is offering credits to pass holders, while skiers are suing Vail Resorts over the bad experience.
