Holiday skiers at Park City, the largest ski resort in the U.S., face delays as ski patrol workers commence a strike for higher wages.

Close to 200 employees are demanding a raise in the entry-level base wage from $21 to $23 an hour, as operational challenges arise during the peak ski week.

Despite the strike, Park City remains operational, attended by a reduced number of ski patrol staff, and is exclusively open to annual pass holders this week.
