From Stowe to Switzerland, Vail Resorts transformed skiing. Now, on one of the busiest ski weekends of the year, customers are pushing back.

The lawsuit accuses Vail Resorts “intentionally and willfully deceived hundreds of thousands of consumers.” The ski patrol strike at Park City Mountain, Utah, is over, but now a lawsuit has been filed against Vail Resorts for allegedly not disclosing the strike's impacts.

The strike at Vail Resort's largest U.S. ski property lasted nearly two weeks and shined a spotlight on the growing union.

Park City Mountain ski patrol reached a tentative agreement to end their strike at the Vail Resorts-owned Utah ski destination and are scheduled to vote on the deal Wednesday. The nearly two-week work stoppage had created massive disruptions at one of the largest ski resorts in North America.

Park City Mountain Resort is offering credits to skiers who visited during a 13-day ski patrol strike that brought chaos to the mountain during the busy holiday tourism season. Why it matters: It's a significant — and rare — concession to customers in an industry that faces mounting accusations of greed as resort conglomerates eliminate their competition.

Across the internet, skiers and snowboarders swore off buying an Epic Pass and Vail Resorts (MTN) stock after Park City Mountain buckled under the weight of the holiday crush, a storm and a ski patrol and safety worker strike.

Vail Resorts says it will offer a discount on next year's pass to anyone who skied or snowboarded at Park City Mountain during the patrol strike between Dec. 27 and Jan. 8.

When snow storms and weekends overlap in Utah’s mountains, chaos can ensue. Skiers and snowboarders need to be aware of slippery roads, avalanche mitigation and traction law enforcement. They’d also like to know how long it will take them to get to their favorite resort and whether parking will be available when they arrive.
