Skiers have filed a class action lawsuit against Vail Resorts, saying they spent thousands of dollars to visit Park City Mountain and Vail Resorts didn’t disclose an ongoing strike or its impacts.
The primary plaintiff, Christopher Bisaillon from Illinois, is suing on behalf of anyone who purchased a Park City Mountain lift ticket from Dec. 27 through Jan. 8, during the ski patrol strike.
That could be thousands of skiers and riders, according to the lawsuit.
Bisaillon alleges skiers didn’t get the experience they paid for, claiming it’s normal to spend $10,000 to $20,000 on a full ski trip to Park City.
Bisaillon says in the lawsuit he spent $15,000 and skied fewer than 10 runs during a week-long Christmas vacation. He says he learned about the strike after he arrived, a day after it began.
