Park City mountain ski patrol is on #strike.
They want to start at $23 (from $21). Ski patrol save lives with advanced first aid, get injured skiers off the mountain, and perform avalanche mitigation.
In a town with sky high rent, this is a tiny ask.
Vail Corp needs to pay a living wage, but had instead brought in a skeleton crew of scabs who do not know the local terrain, endangering guests and employees.
Please share and support.

I just looked up ski passes for Val d’Isère, a silly expensive resort in France. 426 bloody Euros for six days!
So of course I checked this place mentioned here. Same time of year, same six days - $1590
Yanks sure love just handing their money to millionaires 😂
Wow that is a huge difference! So in the states they don’t take care of their employees while simultaneously asking customers for ridiculous prices
For $900 in Switzerland you get year access to most of the main ski resort.
I got my season pass for les porte du soleil for $570
I looked up sizes too. The US has only two resorts in the top 10 size-wise. 9 and 10 of course
They also only list their size in total acreage, not km of pistes
I know that Portes du Soleil is around 600km of pistes (I can see it from here!)
Only info I could find on the resort OP posted is that it has roughly 250km of pistes
Fuck me, I wouldn’t even bother, you could do that in 2 days
Idiots pay stupid prizes then cry that daddy price gouged them.
This shot is 100% discretionary spend.
