Roundtop, PA: The bee's knees?

I'm moving to Carlisle, PA during this upcoming season. Doing the research now on where I want to make my home mountain. Based on searches, edits, posts... it appears to be Roundtop?

30 something minutes away from me and a pretty cheap pass. I would prefer a place that had a decent amount of shredders, as I will be solo 99% of the time. Obviously, conditions/park/shenanigans/accessibility is paramount though.

What's the word on the street?

You might want to take a few trips to Big Boulder it’s 2 hrs but worth it.

Thanks for the replies! I've always heard Big Boulder is great but wrote it off based on distance. I'm going to be bored, so I might just hit up everywhere before I get a pass.

Any other info, send it my way!

Big boulder has any time tix starting at 25 or 30 in their cyber Monday deal. Nice way to make the cost a bit lighter considering the distance.

never been to Roundtop but I can vouch that Big Boulder is deff worth a 2 hour drive. Very park conscious/oriented mountain.

Awesome find! I've been looking at some of the big bundle passes because I'll spend a week in VT/NH for sure... but $399? I'm gonna snag one of these.

We usually have a decent setup at roundtop in my biased opinion. Although it seems to get more and more difficult every year...

Yeah lol I saw people raging on Facebook about it. They're dodging comments, so I'm just gonna assume it's because they're busy making snow.
