Managers from Vail Mountain have been sent to Park City to keep operations running there as ski patrollers from the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association began striking Friday morning, calling for better wages and working conditions. Both Park City ski area and Vail Mountain are owned by Vail Resorts.
Vail Mountain’s ski patrol director and senior manager of health and safety are among those who have been sent, according to a person familiar with the situation who agreed to speak off the record.
Vail and Beaver Creek spokesperson John Plack said while he can’t comment on specific employee locations or assignments, he can confirm that a patrol support team has been deployed “to help support operational continuity.”
