About Showdown Montana

Tucked away in the snowy peaks of the Little Belt Mountains in Neihart, MT, Showdown Montana is a true hidden gem. Locally loved, woman-owned, and family-run, this classic ski area delivers an authentic Montana ski experience without the crowds. Just 67 miles from Great Falls and 32 miles from White Sulphur Springs, Showdown has been welcoming skiers and riders since 1936, making it the oldest operating ski area in the state.

With a summit elevation of 8,200 feet and over 640 acres of skiable terrain, Showdown serves 34 runs, 1,400 vertical feet, and a variety of trails for all levels, from beginner slopes to steep and narrow black diamonds. Best of all? The mountain gets 200+ inches of pure, natural snow each season. No snowmaking means you’re always riding real Montana powder.

But what really sets Showdown apart is its welcoming, down-to-earth atmosphere. Owned and operated by a passionate local family, this ski area puts people first. It offers affordable lift tickets, ski and snowboard rentals, a friendly ski school, and genuinely kind staff, making it perfect for families, first-timers, and powder hounds. Cozy up in the lodge by the wood-burning fireplace, grab a bite in the cafeteria, shop for gear in the retail store, or unwind at the T-Bar Pub, where local brews and live music fuel the après-ski fun.

Keep the adventure going with a visit to nearby White Sulphur Springs. Soak your ski legs in the healing mineral waters at the Spa Hot Springs Motel after a day on the slopes, or book a stay at the Edith Hotel—a stylish boutique hotel owned by the Showdown team. Guests at The Edith enjoy exclusive lodging discounts when skiing at Showdown, making it an ideal home base for your mountain getaway.

Located along the scenic Kings Hill Scenic Byway, Showdown Montana is a must-stop on any Montana road trip. Come for the powder, stay for the people, and discover why this mountain has captured hearts for generations.
