Organizers say there is always room for more, and they will be glad to teach you how to play. They play for quarters on Wednesday and Friday.

The Lake Panorama Ski Show was scheduled for Saturday afternoon, but high winds made performing too dangerous. The show moved to Sunday, when blue skies and calmer water finally gave those talented skiers the stage they deserved. It was warm along the south shore, but longtime spectators know sunshine is simply part of the ticket price. Photos courtesy of the Lake Panorama Ski Team.
