Park City Mountain's ski patrollers approved a new contract with Vail Resorts, ending a 13-day strike. Ski patrol and mountain safety workers plan to return to the slopes Thursday. The new contract includes wage increases, parental leave policies, educational opportunities and a sustainable pay scale.

Park City Mountain ski patrollers on Wednesday agreed to a contract hammered out late Tuesday night by negotiators for their union and Vail Resorts. The contract includes pay bumps of between $2 and $7.

The strike at Vail Resort's largest U.S. ski property lasted nearly two weeks and shined a spotlight on the growing union.
