[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Starting wages were raised to $21 per hour in 2022, but rising costs equate to what should be a $23 starting wage today. Neighboring resort, Deer Valley, recently raised their starting wage to $23.50 and Powder Mountain-another Utah ski resort-starts ski patrollers at $26 an hour.

A one day lift ticket tomorrow is $328
Three years ago it was $219 for a one day lift ticket. So the ski patrol gets no raise but look how much lift tickets have increased!!

Ten years ago a one day ticket to Aspen was 120. And that felt expensive. Lift tickets have increased exponentially as private equity has taken over ski mountains. We are fairly affluent and skiing has become outrageously expensive for us [/quote]

It’s like a round of golf. If you want cheap, go to a local par 3 city owned course for $50. If you want the best conditions, amazing views and a vacation experience, go to Pinehurst for $400.

All day experiences run about $300-400. No one is entitled to these. And if you want to do it, pay up.

That all being said, yes the ski patrol deserves more.
