https://www.newschoolers.com/membervideo/403324.0/RT-Weekends---Episode-203---Finally?s=126049&t=2&o=8 Besides a steadier camera and less skinny pants, what would you like to see in our series? This is the official weekly web series at Roundtop Mountain Resort, and we want to make it as entertaining as we can. Keep in mind we have zero budget, and a tiny mountain in Pennsylvania plz. Karma for real, constructive, well thought-out suggestions! Thanks for your help.

I thought it was pretty dope. Deff the two things you said though. And also you should have one thing you do in every single episode. no clue what, just find something fun. Great vibe though. +K looking forward to more.

inb4 shit storm over pink pants and not posting in the video section.


that being said.


this probably should have gone in M&A for critique on your editing.

i thought it was much like your other edits, not bad, not great, just sort of good.

the skiing wasnt bad typical east coast jibbing. and i thought the intro was to long, after all i am watching edits to see skiing. once i got to the skiing part it was entertaining and well put together.

i like. im not gonna lie, there could be a little more stuff invovled thats irrelevent to skiing. you know, like some funny dialogue like you had in your first episode. it was good tho, hopefully will have some more variety once rt gets some jumps built. the park looks much better than i thought it would on opening day

hey, my names stephen, i moved to PA recently to become more educated. i just wanted to say;

fuck this state. every goddamn inch. i fucking hate you, i fucking hate your state, i fucking hate your schools, i fucking hate your traffic, i fucking hate the PA turnpike, i fucking hate bam margera, i fucking hate king of prussia (the mall AND the surrounding area) i fucking hate your shitty mountains, i fucking hate your lack of snow, also, fuck route 202 in both directions because the road is shitty and the construction is retarded and fuck wawa, you read it right: fuck. wawa. the gas sucks and they dont have any good flavors of arizona ice tea. oh, and fuck the fact that i cant buy perrys ice cream anywhere in your state. thats fucking BULLSHIT. i want panda paws. turkey hill ice cream is for fucking pussies.


i didnt watch your video because the state you are from is such garbage.

sorry for the negativity.

Don't hate on all of the rest of us; there's more to PA than the Greater Philadelphia area. I used to live there too man, not fun for a skier. Here in Central PA we aren't so hateful, we don't have Wawa, and Bam Margera hasn't been cool since 2005, though I'm not so sure it's any different over there haha.

and just to clarify before I get cyber raped by all the people on roundtops dick by that I meant the park is alright but the actual skiing at roundtop or PA in general is pretty bad and roundtop is consistently a block of ice and when they get natural snow even on the expert trails they groom it the next day to appeal to the begginer demographic (i heard that from their groomer himself...) but yea...

Well yea... PA is not the best place to ski if you want REAL skiing on REAL mountains with REAL snow, but most of us like to make the best out of it and have fun regardless. Powder gets tracked out in 2 hours, so the next day really doesnt matter that much. Id say there are a lot more days where RT is not a block of ice than it is, unless you only come at night then it will generally be icier just because snow refreezes after the sun melts it during the day.

well yeah.

But if you are on this site, chances are you don't go skiing to shred groomers; you are already past that point.

Roundtop is well known for its park and the Roundtop Riders, so its assumably aware that the mountain blows.

These are edits. Edits that I group into a series for better recollection of the mountain I film for, and the edits I produce. Thanks to this format I now have backing as the official weekly park edit from my home mountain, and a built in audience of hundreds of skiers/riders that anticipate my edits every Tuesday. That is what has happened.

For the record I produce this series in addition to other edits throughout the season. This is simply a good tool for marketing our parks.

If you ride park at Roundtop you more than likely shouldn't care about the expert trails or natural snow. We basically rode in the mud all weekend, and the park is on Fife. It's common knowledge Roundtop gets icy at night if it's actually below freezing; ski during the day if you care.

As far as grooming is concerned, Snow Time Inc. won the Conversion Cup for converting over 50,000 new skiers/riders into regular attendees in the past year so it's understandable that they play to their strengths in terms of appealing to beginners. Joe G reigns.

You are embarrassed to be a skier because he has tight pants on? Its actually a really smart move because now he can share his wardrobe with his girlfriend.
