After 47 years as a ski area owner, George Willett sold Showdown Montana to his daughter, Katie Boedecker, in September.
âIâm looking forward to Kate having a great experience here and continuing to enjoy what sheâs doing,â Willett said.
Boedecker could not be reached for comment. But during Willettâs ownership she has worked a variety of jobs at the Little Belt Mountains ski hill. These include director of marketing and advertising, prep work in the kitchen, busing tables, operating the ski lifts, teaching skiing and overseeing guest services. In 2001 she became the ski hillâs operations manager.
