Mannequin Rules
Showdown Ski Area (Kings Hill)
is our local ski hill. The Ski Club back in
1937 was instrumental in the establishment of Kings Hill as a ski area. George
& Margie Willett AKA Ski Lift Inc. have made what Showdown is today, a
first class operation that has something to offer for everyone. Showdown is
just one of the reasons

you up-to-date information along with a "live web-cam" so you can see

Introduction
Current president of The Great Falls Ski Club Kari Cann would like to welcome you to
our web site. To my knowledge this is the first ski page in the "Big
Sky" state. If you take the time to browse around you'll see several
things, we are new at cyber-space and that our club has been around for a
while. Take a look at some of the great stuff we have to offer on our web site;
our newsletter the "Panhandler", photos of trips/events, Montana
skiers link to list a few.
Our goal for this season is to double our ski education efforts with
the Great Falls Middle Schools. We supported 10 students this season and would like
to sponsor 20 next ski season. We can only do this if we continue to increase
our membership by 15%, not get just members who pay their money but active
individuals that will help keep our club alive. Come support us.
We encourage contact from ski clubs throughout the Internet. Many of
our members are "expert" skiers and have skied the best there is in
the state and adjoining areas.
I look forward to hearing from anyone who has comments that will help
improve our club or that is just looking for information on our area.

early 20's to the 50's.

have gone to a one-price membership for those eligible to join the club; each
eligible member now pays $20.00 a year. There is no longer a family membership
per Board vote Summer 2004.
Members receive the Panhandler Newsletter, annual Club directory, and lift

but usually new members signing up after March 1st get the whole next year with
their one-year payment.
