Ski Roundtop Mountain
Each winter, an amazing transformation takes
place at Ski Roundtop. Pennsylvania is not known for big snow storms but the skiing is still great. Machine made snow is made up of exactly the same stuff as natural snow
- frozen water. When the weather provides cold temperatures, but no
moisture it is perfect for snow making. Learn more about the life of a snow maker. Or visit www.SkiRoundtop.com
