Montana's Hot Spot Destination
for Crowd-Free Skiing
SHOWDOWN
When Katie Boedecker, daughter Avery Patrick and Avery's husband
Shawn purchased Showdown Montana from Katie's dad, George
Wille, in 2020, they had a goal for Montana's oldest ski area—
to "preserve the integrity of what we're doing, provide affordable
skiing for Central Montana, and grow organically."
