Vail Resorts, the operating company for Park City Mountain Ski Resort, is offering 50% per-day credits for guests impacted by the recent ski patrollers strike that impacted the resort's operations for two weeks.

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.

Vail Resorts, which faced backlash over a Park City ski patrol strike, gets hate from locals and ski bums over the corporatization of skiing.

Vail Resorts CEO Kirsten Lynch said Jan.16 the company is pleased to have reached an agreement with the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association, ending the nearly two-week strike over increased wages and benefits.

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 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.
