Roundtop Mountain Resort
Overview
Roundtop Mountain Resort is located near Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, about 15 miles south of Harrisburg and within day-trip range of Baltimore and Washington, D.C. The mountain has a 600-foot vertical drop and a mix of beginner slopes, intermediate cruisers, and challenging trails, including Gunbarrel and Ramrod. Its north-facing slopes and extensive snowmaking help sustain skiing and snowboarding through the winter.
Roundtop lists 21 trails and nine lifts, including five chairlifts and surface lifts serving learning areas and snow tubing. The mountain has no detachable high-speed chairlifts, but its compact layout makes it easy to move between runs. Night skiing is a major part of the experience, and the resort offers ski and snowboard lessons, rentals, and freestyle terrain parks.
Roundtop also operates a separate snow tubing area with its own lodge and covered conveyor lift. The resort has long been popular with central Pennsylvania skiers and snowboarders and has been part of Vail Resorts since its 2019 acquisition of Peak Resorts. Roundtop participates in the Epic Pass program alongside nearby Liberty Mountain Resort and Whitetail Resort.
