Schpring Finale - 2023

Weschud Celebrate Schpring!

It's time to celebrate at Schweitzer with all kinds of fun events to wrap up the season! Cardboard Box Derby, the Pond Skim and The Ponderay Rotary fundraiser are just some of the classics! We'll have other fun events for all ages!

Saturday

Costume Theme: Disco Day  Join the fun with a theme dress up day, hoot and holler at your fellow skiers in costume on the slopes.

10:00am – 1:00pm:   Ponderay Rotary Fundraiser
Ponderay Rotary's Duck theme is changed up a bit this year.  The Rotary Club is hosting an open air photo booth in the Schweitzer Village on Saturday, April 1 (Schpring Finale weekend) from 10:00am to 1:00pm where each photo bought for $20 also equals one entry into the Rotary Club's big raffle which is a Schweitzer Season Pass for next winter!  Raffle winner to be drawn promptly at 1:00pm.  For $20, you get a high quality print to take home and you also receive the digital images right away for sharing and posting.  The photographer can also create a fun boomerang video with your group for an additional charge of $5.  And there's more... Lucky the Duck, Ponderay Rotary's mascot, will be in the Village and available for an appearance in your photo shots.  Meanwhile, kids can play A Buck a Duck to win prizes (throwing little ducks into a corn hole board for $1 throw).  

Come on up to the Village with friends and family and take home a great mountain memory picture.  Get your Christmas card done early, right!  You might even be the lucky winner of the 23-24 Schweitzer Season Pass which is nothing to quack at!  Proceeds benefit Ponderay Rotary’s Educational Scholarship Program and local community projects.
