Homewood Mountain ski resort in Lake Tahoe will offer free skiing or riding later this month for 200 firefighters, hotshots, EMTs and first responders.
Homewood Mountain will begin taking reservations at 10 am Wednesday (Jan. 19) and will accept the first 200 responders who apply. The free day on the slopes is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 30.
Homewood notes that the unprecedented wildfires that affected California this year – with two crossing the Sierra from one side to the other – were taken down by the hard work and bravery of the firefighting community.
To honor their unwavering commitment and offer thanks, Homewood is giving complimentary lift tickets to 200 individuals
“We can never repay the hard work and sacrifices firefighters have made – especially in our own region over the past year,” said Kevin Mitchell, Homewood Mountain Resort general manager. “As a small token of our gratitude, we’re offering a free day of skiing to 200 firefighters who want to spend time on the slopes.”
The first 200 people who register and provide proof of employment related to the firefighting industry will be eligible to receive one complimentary lift ticket on Jan. 30.
