Roundtop Mountain Resort
The Roundtop Mountain Resort is a resort located in Pennsylvania. During the winter months the resort offers skiing, snowboarding, and snowtubing.

Along with two other resorts, Whitetail Ski Resort and Liberty Mountain Resort, it is owned by Snow Time, Inc. 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. In July 2019, Roundtop, along with the other Peak Resorts ski areas, was purchased by Vail Resorts for $264 million. Trails.
