The same debacle plays out each fall in Park City: The ski resorts and other employers recruit tens of hundreds of seasonal workers to staff their businesses through the busy winter months. The employees arrive en masse, jostling with one another for housing in a rental market that doesn’t have nearly enough capacity to meet the need. Many end up squeezing too many roommates into a unit, pony up for places that are difficult to afford on a liftie’s wages or settle for living outside the Park City area and commuting into and out of town.
The problem has become even more pronounced in recent years as property owners chase the profits of the nightly rental market and remove their units from the long- or medium-term housing stock.
