Vail Resorts, a $6.7 billion ski resort company, was hit with a class action lawsuit in federal court Thursday for allegedly failing to disclose a strike by its ski patrol and mountain safety workers during the Christmas and New Year's holiday season, which made the experience for visiting skiers a "colossal nightmare" as only a fraction of Park City Mountain Resort in Park City, Utah, was open.

Takeaway: The suit asserts claims of willful and intentional deception on the part of a luxury resort owner, which operates 42 mountain resorts across four countries. The plaintiffs allege the resort's fraudulent concealment caused a "disastrous" experience for families who saved and planned throughout 2024 for a "dream vacation."
