Ski Patrollers Strike at Park City Over Wages Amid High Living Costs

A rare strike by ski patrollers at Utah's Park City Mountain Resort has led to significant operational disruptions, including closed runs and long lift lines. The strike began during the busy holiday season and continued into the new year. Patrollers are protesting low wages amid high living costs, demanding higher pay, particularly for seasoned workers. The union seeks an increase from $21 to $23 an hour, arguing that $27 is needed to meet living expenses in Park City. As talks stall, the strike has drawn sympathy from some skiers and solidarity from workers at other resorts.
