Show your silly smirks and goofy grins with your friends and family in an open-air photo booth and take home a fun memory from the mountain while getting a chance to win a season pass!  Tickets are only $20.00 for the photo booth which also equals an entry into Rotary's Schweitzer season pass raffle, happening promptly at 1 pm that day by the patio. You can even get your photo taken with Lucky, the Ponderay Rotary duck. Kids can also play Buck a Duck in the patio and take home some fun prizes.  

Want more chances at winning the Schweitzer Season Pass?  You can also participate in Rotary's "Where's the Wheel?"  Tickets are $30 for this event.  Seek out up to 4 Rotary Wheels around the village and on the ski hill.  Try to find 4 and take a selfie with each one; then post all pics on Ponderay Rotary's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PonderayRotary  (tag Schweitzer too if you want!) 

Head back to the Lakeview Lodge Patio before 1 pm for up to 3 entries into the Schweitzer Season Pass drawing at 1 pm.  

Come up to the mountain on April 13 to buy tickets and participate.  You can also buy tickets from any Ponderay Rotary member or visit Rotary Club of Ponderay Centennial  for information and to purchase tickets online.  You do not need to be present to win the Season Pass.  Proceeds benefit Rotary’s Educational Scholarship Program and its community health and wellness programs.
