Mountain
How big it is and what the skiing is like, each figure with its U.S. rank.
Lifts: the count the resort advertises; resorts differ on whether surface lifts and carpets are in it.
Snow and weather
The National Weather Service forecast for the mountain, and the snowpack measured nearby. Live: each figure gives its source and time.
Webcams
Showdown shows its webcams on its own site.
Its cameras play only on its own page.
Trail map
42 runs · 4 lifts, as mapped in OpenStreetMap
Seen as a trail map shows a mountain: from the base looking uphill, the ground tilted up (heights ×1.5); the arrow points north and the scale holds across the page. Runs and lifts as OpenStreetMap's contributors have mapped them, on the ground from USGS elevation data, with a stronger contour every 200 ft. The key counts the lines OpenStreetMap draws, not the resort's runs.
The resort’s published trail map is not yet collected.
