I would not cross the picket line. I'd leave, and demand a refund. Yes, even if it meant we didn't ski

the resort has increased its patrol’s wages by 50% over the past four seasons. Its current proposal increases wages by another 4% and provides each patroller with $1,600 for equipment, she said.

They have been actively working on this so it’s not a good look. Vail and the union reached agreements on 24 of its 27 contract terms already, and management had increased wages by 50% over the past seasons.

Park city is extremely vast and with the amount of snow they’ve gotten this week dangerous terrain so to have staff come from other locations not familiar with Park city puts skiers in danger.

Why do you think supporting a labor union action is privilege?

I know you think you’re so clever but think of all the families who saved all year to be able to take their family on a ski trip. It’s not only the rich that go to Park city. This is not impacting vail management that much because people have already paid for their lift tickets, it’s impacting the guests. Why didn’t they do this in opening week so they weren’t able to open and plan ahead to get more staff there? That would’ve been a bigger impact to the old management than doing it during the holiday week.


This makes up such a small proportion of skiers these days. Most of these people are affluent

For 2 adults and 2 kids, it is $4240 to ski for 4 days. That is crazy! They have enough money to pay the workers a higher wage. Come on.

And, by the way! If your child is 13, he or she is an adult and it costs $100 more each day!

This is just for the list tickets. Add on equipment rental or purchase, lodging, food, flights.

Walking away from thousands of dollars, in the form of ski passes, hotel reservations and the change of plane tickets is absolutely a privilege.

Planning that type of trip is the privilege. Walking away is just a sunk cost.

You think the poor people that save up for Disney would walk away due to a strike? Hell to the no.

Which is great for people who are local. But for the 75% who travel there, the cost is spread over 4-5 days.

Skiing is just a rich man’s hobby at this point. I hope they burn the resorts down
