Cold weather boosts business at Roundtop Mountain Resort
The recent snowfall and cold temperatures have positively impacted Roundtop Mountain Resort, attracting eager skiers and snowboarders to the slopes.
The cold temperatures lingering in the Susquehanna Valley are bringing good news for Roundtop Mountain Resort, as the chilly weather and snow support their operations.”We’re a ski resort, so we love snow,” General Manager Ted McDowell said. “There are so many benefits, the good snowfall. It really gets people fired up about skiing.”The resort has been able to capitalize on the natural snowfall, which is lighter and more desirable than the denser, manmade snow. “The manmade snow is a lot denser. So, it’s a lot more solid. We make it to stick around, last a long time, give you the best experience possible,” McDowell explained. “When snow falls from the sky, it’s generally lighter, especially this last storm. It was a lot colder, so the snow is a lot lighter.”The resort is well-prepared to handle the snow. “There are no negative impacts to snow. We handle the snow. We have the talent, the staff, the skill,” McDowell said. And customers are anxiously waiting to enjoy the fresh snow. “The diehards all got here, some even camped out in the parking lot here so they would be ready. And then once the roads all got clear, we’ve had a really busy week or expecting to be busy straight through.”The resort is open every day of the week, with the season running until roughly mid-March.
