Since 1973 Sundown has focused on preserving the natural winter beauty of the mountain, and on snowmaking and grooming to provide the best possible ski conditions.

In 1989 the National Ski Area Association awarded Sundown the Award of Excellence. No other midwest ski area has received this award. Sundown is a Mountain of fun and excitement.
