Ski patrollers at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area are seeking to unionize, according to an announcement released Monday, Nov. 18.
If the petition is finalized, A-Basin ski patrol believes the union will guarantee its members have a voice at the negotiation table.
A-Basin ski patrol announced the news on a new union Instagram account Monday, stating it hopes it can work closely with management to ensure ski patrollers receive the benefits, compensation and respect they deserve.
A-Basin ski patrol filed the petition under the United Professional Ski Patrol of America Local 7781.
Over the last few years, several other ski patrol teams at Colorado resorts have successfully unionized, including Eldora Mountain Ski Resort, Breckenridge Ski Resort and Keystone Resort.
