The ghosts of Park City past are watching.

They know something about the long odds facing the ski patrollers. The old company town once controlled by silver kings has been transformed into one of the country's most expensive places to live, work, and play.

Latter-day silver kings and queens control much of what happens on the mountain, to their workers, and in town.

The conglomerate is not likely to squander a chance to squash a nascent union labor movement that, in the distant future, could threaten a business model that requires lots and lots of low-paid workers.

please fix this sentance:

"Forty hours a week at $21/hour comes out to a whopping $3,360 before taxes."

It needs to say, "Forty hours a week at $21/hour comes out to a whopping $3,360 per month before taxes.

people will not do the math themselves, and they will think that $3,360

oops, that $3,360 is for 40 hrs.

PS Thanks for the good work! We love the ski patrol
