Sandpoint - Schweitzer Mountain resort is offering an all inclusive package that actually rewards guests that play there! 

Schweitzer’s Great Escape Package entails simply booking a room at the White Pine or Selkirk Lodge and receiving $30 in adventure bucks per person per night. These adventure bucks can be used exactly like real money at participating locations. These locations include every possible adventure on the mountain – from shopping to dining, mountain biking to the spa – or enjoy off-mountain adventures by taking the adventure bucks to Schweitzer’s activity center to purchase a lake cruise on the Shawndonese, a day at Silverwood Theme Park or a quiet day in a kayak. 

The packages start at $59 per person per night (which, essentially, is only $29 after the adventure bucks) and the prices are based on quad occupancy.  

“This package is one response to the travel trends today which include making travel easier for multigenerational families as well as those seeking all-inclusive options. It also offers opportunities for locals to book “staycations” in which they can take advantage of the town they love, save money on gas yet still get away,”  said sales and marketing director, Dave Kulis. 

Another advantage to this package is that it is completely customizable. The adventure bucks can be spent on a single activity or many activities to satisfy anyone. The Great Escape Package offers every family member options to fit their definition of adventure.
