Maple Ski Ridge gives first responders free lift tickets and $20 rentals on its First Responder’s Day. It’s a single Sunday afternoon, from 2 PM to 6 PM, and you need a valid ID. Maple’s event page defines first responders as EMT and paramedics, fire, and law enforcement.
This is an event, not a standing season-long program, and that changes how you plan. The page gives the exact date, so read it on Maple’s event page and put it on the calendar now. Everything below comes from that page.
How To Get The Maple Ski Ridge First Responder Discount
- Open Maple’s First Responder’s Day event page and note the date. It’s a Sunday in the middle of winter, with the afternoon session running 2 PM to 6 PM.
- Bring a valid ID. The page says the free tickets and $20 rentals require showing a valid ID. It doesn’t name which ID, so bring your department ID and a badge.
- Show up for the afternoon window. The page gives the hours as 2 PM to 6 PM, which means the free ticket is for those four hours, not the full day.
- Rent gear if you need it at $20, or bring your own.
Bringing Your Family
The page has a separate line for families. First responders accompanying spouses and children get $25 passes and $35 rentals from 2 PM to 6 PM. So you ski free, and your spouse and kids get a reduced price on the passes and rentals during the same window.
Planning The Afternoon
The window is four hours, so use it well. Pick up rentals first so the clock isn’t running while you wait, and get your family fitted before you head to the lift. The page says rentals are $20 for you and $35 for the spouse and children who come with you, and it asks for a valid ID for the first responder prices.
What The Page Doesn’t Say
The event page doesn’t say whether verification goes beyond showing a valid ID, whether there’s a cap on tickets, or what happens if the weather closes the mountain. If you’re driving a long way, call Maple the day before and ask. Maple’s other ticket pages load by script and weren’t readable for this post, so we haven’t found a season-long first responder rate. If you want to ski on other days, ask the ticket office whether one exists.
