Due to a lack of snowfall over the past couple of weeks, Showdown Montana ski area in the Little Belt Mountains has postponed its opening day to Friday, Dec. 18.
"We have great snow on about 60% of the mountain, but coverage is too thin at critical areas and near the bottom of the mountain," said Rickey Nash, marketing assistant for the ski area, in an email.
The mountain's canned food drive, held in conjunction with the Great Falls Food Bank, will be pushed back to Saturday Dec. 19. Anyone who donates 15 cans of food can purchase a lift ticket for $15.
