Description

Today's podcast covers the ski patrol strike at Park City Mountain Resort in Utah. I explain why 200 of the resort's ski patrol employees went on strike, and delve into the labor dispute between the ski patrol union and the resort's parent company, Vail Resorts. I also break down the economics of Vail Resorts, including how the company makes money, their approach to buying and owning resorts, the vertical integration of their business to maximize profit margins, and why this business model ultimately led to the Park City Mountain Resort strike. Enjoy!
