Roundtop advertises 600' of vertical but the longest GPS run I logged over two days was 558 -- it skies less than the max vert. All the lifts are slow and dated; bunny lift had some mechanical issues that really gummed up the line. The grooming was poor to non-existent in most areas. On the plus side, this is an ok place for new skiers to learn, with three runs including a small terrain park which is great for expanding confidence on varied terrain. Some nice views from the top. Terrain parks overall are a bright spot. Mountain is spread out with a bunch of lifts which is nice as it separates different types of skiers, but makes it hard for mixed groups to stick together. Limited expert terrain with narrow chutes at the top that make them a bit congested. Nice basement area in the lodge has plenty of cubbies for gear and tables to spread out. Decent small mountain vibe, but not worth going out of your way for.
Good beginner area, good terrain parks, lift lines ok
Poor grooming, slow lifts, limited vertical

The snow making was great with such bad weather conditions. Limited cold weather. The grooming was good.
Great teaching. Wonderful snow making for a mid-Atlantic resort. Great support staff
No on mountain accommodation

Not a bad place to visit during the week, but like most resorts in the area they get too crowded on weekends to get your money's worth.
Low crowds during week.
Snow conditions can be iffy given location

Inconvenient, poor customer service!’ Stood in line for one hour with NO social distancing in place what so ever after we booked our online tickets for us to find out that we had stand in line to get reloadable cards. The next ski visit we go ahead and reload them online, we get to the lifts and find out they are not working!!! I had an email confirmation that said they were paid for!!!

On December 26 a few friends and I went to enjoy the day on the mountain. The snow was great and we hit all the slopes before the end of the day. The down side was when we stopped for lunch and everyone knows it’s expensive but what we ended up getting was very underwhelming, the other downside for all mountains in my area was that they skyrocketed in price from 50-60$ last year to a nice 74$ for a full day. The slopes we’re great and we all learned how to hit 180s off jumps so it was a good day over all I would recommend it.
Nice mountain, had decent amount of trails open, even with the lack of snow
High food prices, jacked up lift ticket prices

I am so grateful to Ski Roundtop. I learned to ski in my 50s, and was very intimidated when I first showed up...but because of their great staff who guided me and made sure I had a great experience...I have become a fully invested skier now running on 5 years. It is a great mountain to learn on. There are 20 trails with lots of variety and picturesque views. Just work your way around the mountain. Favorites are Upper Lafayette and Recruit. It's a wholesome place, great for families, young kids, and senior citizens. They do a great job on grooming and snow making, but it is a tough business in Central PA because the winter weather can change from day to day. Thank you for everything Ski Roundtop--so glad you are my home mountain!!
Great place to learn.
