Roundtop popped open last weekend- similarly to their Thanksgiving "open" last year, with just the park.

But it counts!  Great job to be so aggressive, if even just for the marketing, with no hope of holding on to that snow.

If nobody mentions it did it really happen?

Whitetail, Liberty, and Roundtop all had post advertising the hike park at roundtop. As a matter of fact roundtop had a nice teaser on Tuesday or Wednesday of last week looking at the weather.

The had this nice teaser for the J-Park https://www.instagram.com/p/BbSVc2gA9_v/ For those of you that have never skied roundtop, it is small, but the environment is great. For me it is 1 hr 40 min drive, and I will try and get there a few times a season.

Last year Roundtop hung on after Liberty and Whitetail were forced to close after the insane February thunderstorms, and when we got that late winter cold snap they blew massive piles of snow and reopened almost the whole mountain.  Their new GM is really aggressive about terrain and he obviously has the green light from the Snow Time accountants... Kudos!

I remember that- they found a number of folks who "converted" to a new home mountain!  To be fair, RT is all Northern exposure; the other 2 are not- especially Whitetail.  A little easier to maintain coverage.

I've come to enjoy the variety and vibe at RT over the others. And the parking lot tailgating.  It's just a tad further and not-so-straightforward of a drive for me, relative to Lib and WT.

100% agreement there. I think I skied Roundtop 7 weekend days last March. Late season and short lines made the parking lot a fun frequent break

Neither Roundtop or Liberty had the lights on last night as I drove down US 15.
