Roundtop Mountain Resort

Posted

Pros: some small steeps, close to home, mostly good conditions

Cons: Icy at night,

This is my home mountain, great morning groomed conditions. lifts are not super fast, but short lines even on weekends. They are replacing some of the older lifts for next year. offers a surprising mix of terrain for such a small mountain. My son snowboards and raves about the park crews ability to add cool features in the park areas. The new restaurant/bar with live music has improved night life. Very nice for what it is. Offers a good day on the snow and is close to home. Pays to buy the advantage card or season pass if you are a regular.

Pros: Close to Home

Cons: It's not Little Cottonwood Canyon :)

For South Central PA skiing  - Ski Roundtop does a pretty darn good job.  I grew up locally and have been using Ski Roundtop as my training grounds since I was 10.  They have really done a great job of improving the snow making capacity over the years.  The mountain has a nice variation of beginner to advanced terrain, and the organization of the mountian allows for some segregation of skiier levels which is important on the smaller mountains here in PA.  The mountain has also recently upgraded many of the base area amenities ( Thank you for the Fireside Pub!) which allows for a nice day trip with the family.  I asked my wife to marry me at Ski Roundtop so she would always have a special place in her heart for skiing and I am now teaching my 3 yr old daughter to ski there.  Keep up the good work Roundtop Management!
Roundtop Mountain Resort
Description:

Ski Roundtop is owned and managed by the same company who also owns Ski Liberty and Whitetail. With the addition of a new snowmaking compressor and new tower-mounted snowguns on the Gunbarrel slope, Ski Roundtop is now able to cover their skiing terrain with fresh snow, faster than ever. The north-facing slopes keep the snow in top condition. All slopes are lighted for night skiing and are groomed regularly with state of the art flex tillers. Ski Roundtop consistently offers the best snow conditions around and offers a Great Ski Guarantee. If you're unsatisfied for any reason, simply return your lift ticket within one hour of purchase and you will receive a free voucher to come back another time. The 2013-14 SEASON will soon be here.
