No it sucks but if you like BC you might like RT. BORING!

Its small and icy. Good park... if you shred you might like it. Personally I like BC more but maybe thats just my bias speaking.

They changed the park staff again this year and have not done any pre season rail jams this year. They used to be very focused on parks but have been steadily easing up each year. I believe Liberty will have a stronger park scene this year but that is a guess based on last seasons trends.

 

So many roundtop kids have thrown in the towel with Roundtop that they are coming 2 hours east to big boulder now. There are several snowboarders in that same group that are making the hike.

When i was there last year, they had an OK park but with the right crew I am sure they could have a decent setup. It just takes the right people to make it happen....

i think any mountain is worth checking out. i had a ton of fun at spring mountain, and roundtop is surely bigger and better than spring.

 

go once, make up your mind from there.

I missed this question when it was first posted. I'd have to say that RT03 gave a pretty helpful answer. I'm no park runner, but I keep an eye on them when riding the lifts. With last year's snow struggle, I'd have to give RT an A+ for trying to get the parks up and running.

 

Personally, I find RT to be a good local exercise hill, a place to refine skills. If you're in Harrisburg, it's just a hop down the freeway. But as a destination, its not all that exciting. I'd be hard pressed to recommend to anyone driving more than two hours to go there, especially if there are other hills closer to them. RT gives you 600 feet of vert, which isn't too much. But I find the lack of crowds (weekdays), quality grooming and the general friendliness of the locals to be its strong points.

 

Its worth checking out and keeping an eye on as the season develops, especially since it is so close to Harrisburg. VY
