The Roundtop Mountain Resort is a resort located in Pennsylvania. During the winter months the resort offers skiing, snowboarding, and snowtubing. During the spring, summer, and fall, Roundtop offers zip lines, a ropes course, OGO Balls, and year-round paintball.

History

Roundtop Mountain Resort was originally developed under the name Ski Roundtop by Irvin Naylor in the wake of a disappointing experience in 1964 at another now defunct local resort. He was unwilling to commute to Vermont to ski. A local surveyor suggested property owned by Ethel Barrett, which Naylor purchased for $30,000. 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, wresting control of the company from his fellow investors.
In October 2018, Roundtop and the other two Snow Time resorts were bought by Peak Resorts.
