Showdown is an alpine ski area located in the Little Belt Mountains in Central Montana, United States.
In 1940, the ski area opened its first Rope Tow, donated by Great Falls businessman Charlie Bovey.
The company sold stock, and purchased a Poma lift that traveled up The Hall-o, and ended at the top of the mountain.
Prior to the installation of the chairlift, runs off of the ridge had no exit point except for a rope tow that took skiers from the bottom of Second Thought, up Dicks Ditch, ending at Arkansas Traveler.
In 2006, Showdown purchased the old Collins Lift from Alta, was renamed The Sluice Goose Caboose, and installed it as a beginner chairlift, mainly serving green and blue runs.
In 2020, the area began an aggressive inbounds logging project to begin to open up the interior of the resort to gladed skiing.
In the winter season of 2020-21, Showdown began seeing skiers come from other resorts in the state who restricted access due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Future plans for the area include on mountain accommodations, new guest services buildings, new lifts, and summer activities.
