Ski patrollers at Park City Mountain Resort are returning to work after nearly two weeks on strike. The union representing the patrollers came to an agreement with Vail Resorts, which manages the facility,

The day after the two councilors joined the picket line, Park City Mayor Nann Worel and the city council issued a joint statement calling on Park City Mountain owner Vail Resorts “to take immediate action” to end the strike, citing “confusion and disruption” around town.

The nearly two-week strike hobbled the largest U.S. ski resort during a busy holiday period and sparked online fury about deepening economic inequality in rural mountain areas.

News of the agreement between Park City and its ski patrol union came after a lot of back and forth between the two parties. Much of it in the public eye.

Ski patrollers at the biggest U.S. ski resort say they have reached a deal with Utah’s Park City Mountain Resort to end a strike that put a wrench in operations during the busy holiday season.

The 204 workers ended their strike with a $2 wage increase to the base pay to $23 an hour and an average $4 an hour wage increase for more experienced workers.

Strike centers on more than starting wages, as holiday pay, health coverage pay and increases based on experience and inflation at issue. Park City Mountain Resort’s longstanding image as a premier ski and snowboard destination in the United States is taking a hit as a contentious ski patrol strike drags into a second week.

Two hundred Utah ski patrollers have ended a nearly two-week strike and returned to work at the biggest ski resort in the U.S. The union representing Park City Mountain Resort ski patrollers is claiming victory after voting Wednesday to accept a deal negotiated with Vail Resorts,
