Only, capable, well compensated, happy employees can do that.
You have a strong back, and are willing to put your nose to the grindstone.
Then, after doing a few rounds of this exercise the ski area can open.
These injuries could be anything from a papercut to an open compound femur fracture.
You will be tired, you will be exhausted at the end of some days.
Think thats too much?
It is truly a terrific environment to recuperate from a stressful day!.
Youre living the dream!
People would kill just to do this kind of job for free!
13.25 an hour?"
Now, back to reality.
The Park City Ski Patrol Union held its 50th bargaining session with Vail Resorts on Monday evening.
Vail did not bring a new contract proposal to the table.
The union is looking to return to the negotiating table on Wednesday.
All travel plus $600 a day for costs covered.
Vail has denied that this email was authorized.
Okay, enough professional news speak, this is an opinion piece, lets get down to brass tacks.
I thought he would have some insight on the situation that I, and other recreational skiers may not.
Not a long time but at least a couple weeks.
I dont know, I think If they strike they only will run lower mountain lifts.
Its Pennies compared to how much they will lose by not running for days.
This requires knowing every square inch of the mountain to make it respond as quickly as possible.
The fact that Vail Resorts, king of “Do not raise bar until chair enters top station!”
would subject themselves to this kind of liability so you can avoid paying $2/hr is astonishing.
Well spoken, mourner of the best shack to ever exist.
So now we must ask ourselves, why?
People hear the name, Vail, and associate it with skiing.
This lengthy bargaining session, and potential ski patrol strike is just a symptom of this reality.
In any business Revenue-Costs=Profit.
The lack of staff is actually a cost reduction on their balance sheet.
As a famous fictional insurance company boss once said, Were supposed to helpOURpeople!
Starting with our shareholders!
Whos helping them out!!
Sure, there is the community to consider, Park City needs the mountain to run.
But you deserve to be paid a wage that allows you to actually live and thrive in your community.
You do not deserve to be exploited for working in a field that you are passionate about.
When Vail realizes that they really need you, and they will, ask for more.
Do exactly what the suits at Vail have done to you for the better part of 2 years.
And as for Vail and its many executives, people are realizing that your product is terrible.
Youll see record lows on your Epic pass purchases soon enough.
Then the shareholders will realize whats happening too.
Im sure that it will be the experience of a lifetime!
Go get em Park City Ski Patrol!
