Attorney Daniel Tarpey expects it to be an “arduous” and “long procedural fight.” He and co-counsel have to prove there are enough skiers that may have been harmed in the same way during Park City Mountain’s recent strike to justify class action.

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.

Park City Mountain ski patrol reached a tentative agreement to end their strike at the Vail Resorts-owned Utah ski destination and are scheduled to vote on the deal Wednesday. The nearly two-week work stoppage had created massive disruptions at one of the largest ski resorts in North America.
