Maps, Directions, and Place Reviews



History

Roundtop Mountain Resort was originally developed under the name Ski Roundtop by Irvin Naylor in the wake of a disappointing experience in 1964 at another now defunct local resort. He was unwilling to commute to Vermont to ski. A local surveyor, suggested property owned by Ethel Barrett, which Naylor purchased for $30,000. With other investors, Naylor formed Snow Time, Inc., to run the ski resort and leased the land to the corporation. Naylor's original stake in Snow Time, Inc. was 10-percent. After a number of successful years, the corporation's directors got tired of paying a percentage of revenue to Naylor for the lease and the company bought the land from him. Naylor then used the proceeds to increase his stake in Snow Time, Inc. to a 75-percent share, wresting control of the company from his fellow investors.
