Stuart great podcast! Thank you for including perspectives beyond just the front office. While I’m not entirely on board with Max’s train of thought, it’s stunning that it took $500 million in pressure for Vail to meet the union’s limited requests.
Thanks for pulling together this interview and sharing the perspective of the striking patrollers. It was interesting to hear Max Magill speak so passionately about how the strike will improve the lives of members of his union. Max also rightly recognized that unionization has improved the lives of non-union workers throughout the Vail Resorts enterprise, and even workers at non-Vail ski areas. Workers throughout the industry owe the PCMR team a huge debt of gratitude.
"The Storm publishes year-round, and guarantees 100 articles per year. This is article 94/100 in 2024, and number 594 since launching on Oct. 13, 2019. 2024 will continue until the 100-article threshold is achieved, regardless of what that pesky calendar says."
But seriously, I hope the lack of the above statement means you're giving up for 2024. With the health issues, etc. I don't think a single one of us will blame you. Just start the clock again:
"The Storm publishes year-round, and guarantees 100 articles per year. This is article 2/100 in 2025...."
Thanks for covering this hot topic and bringing a ski patrol perspective to the podcast. This was an especially informative conversation!
Awesome episode! Love how the union stayed strong against MTN! Keep the excellent journalism coming, Stuart!

Great writing, as usual.
Stuart, this is well written, and your desire to set it straight is excellent journalism.
Thanks for the Max Magill interview!!
You forgot something at the bottom:
