The snowy roads caused tie-ups and delays Friday for commuters, but the skiers and snowboarders at Ski Roundtop welcomed the snow, allowing for a night filled with fun.
Charlie Young and his wife came up to the slopes to enjoy their 13th anniversary. "I've been watching their website all week - they were blowing blowing blowing, I knew there was going to be a ton of snow. A little date night, wonderful night out at Roundtop"
A few inches of fresh snow was the cherry on top to a week of making snow at Ski Roundtop.
The road conditions didn't seem to be that much of a problem for those who took precautions. "We took it easy, really slow, I had one little spinout, that was at a gas station, coming up here? Not really a problem," Young said.
But others weren't so lucky. Kurt Gercke and his friends drove up from Maryland for a night of skiiing. But slippery conditions caused some problems. "It should have taken us an hour and fifteen minutes but it took us three and a half hours. There were two charter buses that were coming up the main road to get to Roundtop - one of them got stuck, so the other one tried to pass it and they both got stuck blocking two lanes, so the whole front entrance here was blocked."
Luckily, there are many roads to Central Pennsylvania's ski resort.
Ryan Brzozwski said the buses blocking the entrance wasn't stopping him from hitting the slopes. "We were able to turn around and find another way."
Others throughout the Susquehanna Valley had troubles with the roads. In New Cumberland, a person driving home lost control of their car and drove over an embankment. Luckily the driver wasn't hurt and police were able to clear the road and get the driver back on his way.
Those at Ski Roundtop say the roads are worth it for such a pleasant skiing experience. "It's just wonderful, it's going to be a fantastic weekend." Charlie Young said.
The roads should be much better by tomorrow morning, but PennDOT urges all drivers to be safe. Roads can be icy even if they look like they're clear.
