History
Created in 1936 and originally called King's Hill Ski Area, Showdown is a small-scale ski area normally closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, receiving most patrons on the weekends. During the summer months, the area offers a variety of activities ranging from mountain biking to hiking to camping. Showdown is known for the 100% natural snow[citation needed], beautiful scenery[citation needed], and family atmosphere.[citation needed]
In 1973 the Ski Area changed its name from King's Hill Ski Area to Showdown Ski Area. In 1995, it was changed again to Showdown Montana.
Geography
The Ski Area is near the Kings Hill Scenic Byway also known as highway 89 which snow removal crews work throughout the winter season to keep open for year-round access. The hardest run is Glory Hole, the easiest run is Golden Goose. Showdown has runs from Green Circle to Black Dimond.[citation needed]
Additional lodging is available in Monarch, Montana and in nearby Neihart.
