Say Good Bye To Winter

Ski Roundtop Packing Up Winter

This year we are a bit over anxious to put Winter to bed. The Mountain Adventures projects and opening date for the Mountain Adventures are dependent on having a mostly dry Spring and getting started now! We are doing what we can while we wait for the Mountain to melt and dry up enough to work the ground and build the adventures.

Snow making hoses are getting sorted out. We already pushed all the snow off of tubing and now we are just waiting for the rest to melt so that we can begin ground prep for tubing and OGO ball.

Lumber has been delivered and now we have to haul it up the mountain so that Alpine Towers can start construction of the Vertical Trek next week.

Bumper Boats are being moved to the adventure area and landscaping has been started. This area is below the existing Tubing lodge which will be Base Camp for the Summer.

We are clearing an area out to build The Woods. The multi-generational play park will be located below the Ramrod chair lift.

Mountain Adventures Opening May 23rd

Opening day is only 56 days away on Saturday, May 23rd just in time for Memorial Day. There is so much to do!! So little time!! This is not something we usually say at Roundtop but…. Melt snow… melt!

Best Of Show Booth Expo Award

PPRS Award

Ski Roundtop received the best of show award at the Pennsylvania Parks & Recreation Society expo last week held at Hershey Convention Center.

Our graphic designer Robin Bowersox designed a cool booth that included adventurers “zipping” on ziplines through the booth.  Great job, Robin!

Bumper Boats Are Moving

Ropes Course and Flying Leap Are Not Moving

The Bumper Boats will be moving down to the Mountain Adventures area and under the supervision of the Mountain Adventure manager, Deb Bixler. The Ropes course and Flying Leap will not be moving and will not be affected too much by the Mountain Adventures except that more customers will be at Ski Roundtop.

Day Pass = Wrist Band

When a customer comes to Mountain Adventures they will buy a day pass similar to going to an amusement park. The pass for Mountain Adventures will be $39 and $29 for children ages 5-10 with no charge for kids under 5.  We will be offering a group discount for groups over 15 guests or morw of $4.00 off.  The day pass will apply to all the Adventures in the new Mountain Adventures area and will not apply to the Ropes or Flying Leap, or the Vertical Trek Summer features.

OGO Ball @ PRPS State Conference

Pennsylvania Parks & Recreation Society Ogle The OGO

Ski Roundtop and the H2OGo were a big hit at the Pennsylvania Recreation And Park Society 62nd Annual expo held Sunday at Hershey Lodge and Convention Center. Andrew Oles, Superintendent of Recreation for Abington Township Parks and Recreation demonstrated how the OGO ball works indoors as a giant human hamster wheel.

At Roundtop, the ball will roll down the hill with 1-3 people inside as well as 5-10 gallons of water.  We had a DEMO of OGO Ball last week at Roundtop.
