The Roundtop Mountain Resort is a resort located in York County, Pennsylvania. During the winter months the resort offers skiing, snowboarding, and snowtubing.[1] During the spring, summer, and fall, Roundtop offers summer camp and paintball.[2]
Along with two other resorts, Whitetail Ski Resort and Liberty Mountain Resort, it was owned by Snow Time, Inc.[3] Peak Resorts purchased the mountain in 2018 from Snow Time Inc., along with Snow Time's two other resorts, Whitetail Ski Resort and Liberty Mountain Resort. Vail bought and now operates them.
Roundtop Mountain Resort was originally developed under the name Ski Roundtop by Irvin Naylor in 1964. With other investors, Naylor formed Snow Time, Inc., to run the ski resort and leased the land to the corporation. Naylor's original stake in Snow Time, Inc. was 10 percent. After a number of successful years, the corporation bought the land from him. Naylor then used the proceeds to increase his stake in Snow Time, Inc. to a 75 percent share.[4]
In October 2018, Ski Roundtop and the other two Snow Time resorts Whitetail Ski Resort and Liberty Mountain Resort were bought by Peak Resorts and in July 2019, Ski Roundtop, Whitetail Ski Resort and Liberty Mountain Resort were purchased by Vail Resorts.
