The "summit" is around 1040ft. I've been there, albeit I didn't see every trail, but it all seemed pretty much the same fall line and didn't really get that steep anywhere. Somebody said like JF but with less vertical and no east mountain. That's about accurate. 2 Quote

They have 250 or so vert less. Quote

The owners were bikers who wanted to turn the place into a biker hangout but it never happened. Maybe they're looking to sell. Edited March 12 by EdBacon 1 Quote

Nah I’ll just spend $700 to ski as much as I want for 4 months 20 miles away. I can’t fuck with these spring mountain type places. Blue is my benchmark…but the little place good for people to learn.

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 (edited) 8 hours ago, JFskiDan said: Directly from RT website. And from DC Ski Both are lies. Neither have/had that much vertical. Most ski areas lie about their vertical. Roundtop is close to their claimed vertical at 578' per Jollyturns which has accurate vertical for every lift currently in operation.

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 (edited) Alpine was 346 vertical to Roundtops 578 per Jollyturns. So it was 60% the vertical, not the 50% I estimated from memory A little bit shorter than either the shortest TTB lifts at the west end of JF or the biggest lifts at BB. Also shorter than Spring. Bigger than Campgaw or Big Snow Edited March 12 by Ski2Live Live2Ski 1 Quote

It was a good place for beginners. Better than a beginner going to Camelback where they would just be on the bottom of the mountain with the masses anyway. But newbies don't know about places like that. Quote

But newbies don't know about places like that. Lifts are still there but would need to be replaced. Lodge was renovated the year before they closed but I heard there were some issues. Electrical or plumbing not done right so they couldn't open the bar that they had installed or something. Not sure what shape the lodge is in now though. Nobody has been there in almost ten years. It was all boarded up a couple of years ago. I imagine people have gotten inside by now. 1 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 12 Report Posted March 12 Ate in that new lodge once and it was much nicer than what preceded it. I was actually there twice when it was free for us - the first time alone and the next time with the kids - who I thought might still be at a level that it could interest them - and we had fun but they did mock their idea of "black diamonds". 1 Quote

They did do a good with the lodge renovation. They really only had one moderately steep short trail at the bottom. Quote
