Two-Day Appreciation Event Offers Discounted Lift Tickets to Active and Retired Emergency Personnel

BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, March 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Blue Hills Ski Area is proud to host its First Responders Weekend on Saturday, March 7th, and Sunday, March 8th, to honor firefighters, law enforcement officers, and emergency personnel who work tirelessly to protect and serve our communities.

During the March 7–8 event, all eligible first responders can purchase lift tickets for just $35 (regularly $75). This discount is available to all active-duty and retired firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMTs, paramedics, and other emergency personnel; valid credentials must be presented at check-in.

“We are incredibly grateful for the selfless service of our first responders and wanted to create a weekend dedicated to honoring them,” said Geoff Homer, Owner and President of Blue Hills Ski Area. “This is our way of saying thank you and welcoming them and their families to enjoy time together on the slopes.”

In conjunction with the March 7–8 event, Blue Hills Ski Area will donate $10 from every lift ticket sold during the weekend to Folds of Honor New England. The nonprofit provides educational scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled military service members and first responders throughout the region.

“Partnering with Folds of Honor New England allows us to extend our appreciation beyond the slopes,” added Geoff Homer. “Together, we can support the families of heroes and help provide the educational opportunities they deserve.”

“Blue Hills is well-known for being metro Boston’s family-friendly skiing destination. We are grateful for their partnership with Folds of Honor New England and hope many first responders in the area will enjoy some time on the slopes,” said Will Fulton, Co-President of the chapter.
