Veterans & Active Military Ski Free on Tuesday, March 30th "Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day."
Bear Valley, CA... Bear Valley Mountain, in partnership with Dodge Ridge Wintersports Area, announced today that both resorts will honor all veterans and active military personnel on March 30th, “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day” with a free ski day. All military personnel with proper ID will receive a free all-day lift ticket. “We are proud to partner with Dodge Ridge to offer this program to recognize our veterans and all those who serve in the U.S. military. We are pleased that the State of California has taken a step to officially welcome our Vietnam Veterans ‘Home’ with this holiday and this free day is just a small token of our appreciation and gratitude for the years of dedication and service to our country,” said Jon Mahanna, Mountain Operations Manager for Bear Valley Mountain and Vietnam Veteran, Chapter 391.
The idea for this program comes as a result of Governor Schwarzenegger signing the AB 717 on September 25, 2009, establishing March 30th as “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day.” Bear Valley Mountain and Dodge Ridge see this day as a time to recognize the men and women who put their lives on the line fighting for our country.
