Vail Resorts Class Action Lawsuit

The Case Against Vail Resort

Meyers & Flowers, in collaboration with Tarpey Wix LLC and The Spence Law Firm, has filed a class action lawsuit against Vail Resorts, Inc., the owner and operator of Park City Mountain Resort (PCMR), over allegations of deceptive and fraudulent business practices. The lawsuit claims that Vail Resorts knowingly deceived customers by failing to disclose that the ski patrol and mountain safety personnel union, essential to resort operations, were on strike during the holiday season. This lack of transparency left customers, who had spent thousands of dollars, unable to access significant portions of the resort’s services.

Key Allegations:

• Failure to Disclose the Strike: The lawsuit alleges that Vail Resorts continued to sell lift tickets and services without informing customers that nearly 80% of the resort’s operations were impacted by the strike.
• Impact on Visitors: Guests faced long delays, reduced access to ski lifts, and an inability to enjoy the premium experience they were promised.
• Advance Knowledge: Vail Resorts was allegedly aware of the impending strike as early as December 16th but failed to alert customers.
• Delayed Response: The company did not provide an “Operations Update” on its website until January 4th, eight days after the strike began.
