Park City Patrollers celebrate their CWA contract.

Vail Resorts

CWAers, members of the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association/CWA 7781, ratified a first contract with Vail Resorts by a two-to-one margin.

The two-year contract provides for a grievance and expedited arbitration procedure to work out disputes; just cause in disciplinary actions; expanded educational and professional development opportunities; a joint safety committee; and a strengthened avalanche dog program, among other issues. It covers about 200 patrollers from the Park City and Canyons Village base areas, and the newly formed Mountain Safety group.

Local 7781 also represents ski patrollers at Crested Butte, Steamboat, and Telluride.
