(KSL News) Negotiators for the Ski Patrol at The Canyons have reached a tentative agreement that will likely avert a threatened strike.

Before tonight's announcement, a union spokesman admitted it was a negotiating tactic.
Kent Anderson/ Communications Workers of America: "The company wasn't willing to come to the table before Christmas and get a deal. They would still be dragging their feet. So, it's a show of unity by the unit."
