did some digging through google to see what ski resorts raised the minimum wage this year. overall this is a really good trend in the industry, but the wage compression has screwed up a lot of retention plans for ski patrollers and other veteran employees. if you know of any more resorts lmk, but here's the list so far:
- (June 2021)
Vail increases base pay to $15/hr across multiple resorts including Breckenridge, Park City, Vail (in 2015 they raised the base pay to $10/hr)
- (July 2021) Deer Valley, UT raised base pay to $15/hr
- (August 2021) Solitude Mountain, Utah raised base pay to $15/hr
- (August 2021) Sugarbush, Vermont raised base pay to $15/hr
- (August 2021) Taos Ski Valley, NM raised base pay to $15/hr (raised to $10/hr in 2015)
