Vail & Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association Reach Tentative Agreement To End Strike

After a two-week strike that disrupted operations at Park City Mountain Resort, the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association (PCPSPA) and Vail Resorts have reached a tentative agreement. The agreement will end the current strike.

“Park City Mountain and the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association (PCPSPA) are pleased to announce that they have reached a new tentative agreement through April 2027. The Union’s bargaining committee is unanimously endorsing ratification by its unit, with a vote scheduled to take place on January 8. The tentative agreement addresses both parties’ interests and will end the current strike. Everyone looks forward to restoring normal resort operations and moving forward together as one team. Until contract ratification, neither party will be accepting media requests.” – Joint statement

The Unfair Labor Practice strike began on December 27, 2024, after multiple Unfair Labor Practice complaints were filed against Vail Resorts. The ski patrollers sought better wages, improved benefits, and a fair contract. The strike caused significant disruptions to resort operations, including limited terrain access and reduced services for guests.

The tentative agreement includes provisions for wage increases, improved benefits, and other key issues. Both parties have agreed not to release the specifics of the agreement until after the ratification vote.
