The NLRB investigated the case and prepared to issue a complaint alleging that Myers had not been rehired because the company believed he was attempting to form a union, a protected activity.
Though he only worked at the resort for two seasons, Myers had already seen a significant degree of turnover among the ski patrol, which provides emergency medical services on the mountain, conducts evacuations and controls avalanches using explosives.the new president and COO, Amber Broadaway
The 26-year-old was told the decision not to rehire him was related to performance issues, despite the fact that he had been complimented for his work the previous season and had been offered a job earlier that summer. Myers was devastated. In an emailed statement, Broadaway said Solitude does not comment on private personnel matters and the terms of the resolution with Myers are confidential.

Solitude is owned by Alterra Mountain Company, which is in turn owned by the private investment group Henry Crown and Company and the private equity firm KSL Capital Partners.
“Workers know their value and that the ski industry wouldn’t be profitable without our labor and expertise,” she said. “Resort management is finally learning that without livable wages, we won’t keep talent. I think the skiing public wants their resorts to take care of their employees, and supports workers organizing to have a say. It’s incredibly exciting and hopeful.”
