This is a forecast, not a snow report. Nobody here measures the hill — for what is actually on the ground, and whether the lifts are turning, go to Showdown.

Where to go
six ways in
Search the whole archive by name, year, run or event — 1936 to now, oldest first. Everything the family, the club and the mountain kept.
Fifteen issues of the Kings Crier, forty years of trail-map brochures, a 1962 magazine that gave a whole issue to skiing in Montana, and two founding-era scrapbooks — search the words printed inside them, not just the labels.
Every old Showdown and Kings Hill season pass anybody kept, photographed and on the wall — and every pass you send in is another chance in the April 1, 2027 drawing.
Every person who has sent a photograph or a story to the project, each with their own page — what they sent, and everything they wrote about it in their own words.
The people who made this mountain — one page each.
1936 – 2026
Ninety years, in your hands.
The full-color hardcover history of Showdown Montana — $75 in the pre-sale, $90 after. Or put your own photos and story on the cover.
Kings Hill opened in the Little Belts in 1936 and never stopped. This is everything the archive holds — the photographs, the papers the mountain printed, the people who sent them in, and the passes they kept.
