Wintergreen Resort in Virginia gives first responders discounted lift access on non-holiday Mondays in the heart of the season: $39 for an 8-hour lift ticket, or $59 with a rental. You join the resort’s e-Club ahead of time and buy in person, so it’s worth setting up before the day you plan to go.
Wintergreen sits on Route 664 in Wintergreen, Virginia, and its activities menu lists winter lift tickets and season passes alongside golf, racquet sports and seasonal tubing. This offer is the Monday program on its special offers page, and it’s the one that includes first responders.
How To Get The Wintergreen Resort First Responder Discount
- Join Wintergreen’s e-Club before your visit. The page says to join in advance, and it doesn’t name a cutoff for this program, so don’t leave it to the parking lot.
- Pick a non-holiday Monday. The program runs on Mondays through the heart of the season, and the page gives the start date, so read it there.
- Bring valid ID. The page doesn’t say which ID counts, so a work ID or badge is the safe thing to carry.
- Buy at the lift ticket windows. The page says the offer isn’t available online and has to be bought in person.
- Choose the lift-only ticket at $39 or the lift and rental combination at $59, each for an 8-hour day.
A one-time $5 RFID media fee applies if you don’t already have a card. The page also lists a group never-ever lesson at 25% off with a rental for ages 8 and up, which is a quiet way to get a kid on skis the same day.
What The Monday Price Covers
The two prices on the page are for an 8-hour ticket, either lift access alone or lift access with a rental. A rental at that price is the real saving if you don’t own gear, and it’s the better deal for a family getting a first day on the snow.
Two things the page leaves open are worth a phone call to the resort before you drive. It doesn’t define first responder, so a volunteer firefighter, a dispatcher or a corrections officer should ask whether their ID will do. And it doesn’t say how many tickets you can buy at the discounted price, so if you’re bringing a crew, ask whether family members qualify. The program’s listing names first responders together with other groups, and this post only covers what it says for first responders.
Other Savings On The Same Page
The same special offers page lists a Thursday night program for everyone, with lower evening prices on lift tickets, rentals and tubing. If a Monday doesn’t fit your shift schedule, price a Thursday night against the Monday rate before you decide, because the Monday program only helps on Mondays.
