Busy Easter for our crew!

We were proud to recognize four members of the Wachusett Mountain Ski Patrol team tonight.

These individuals acted quickly and efficiently to assist a victim in cardiac arrest—helping restore pulses within just five minutes. Because of their swift actions and teamwork, a life was saved.

Outstanding work by all involved. Your dedication and professionalism truly make a difference. 👏
