There’s nothing like the view from Homewood Mountain Resort. Everyone – from new skiers to seasoned snowboarders – stops to marvel at the azure perfection of Tahoe’s great mirror atop Madden Triple Chair. As the pride and center of the town of Homewood, California, Homewood Mountain Resort sits a snowball’s throw from the Lake’s west shore.
Homewood... has found fame by teaching kids to ski and snowboard. The Homewood Snow Rangers Academy rolls out the red carpet for children ages 4-12. Providing young day campers with their very own gentle slope and surface lift, Snow Ranger instructors treat beginners to a fun, comfortably-paced experience on the snow while providing the newest learn-to-ski techniques with the X Based Learning System. Kids with more on-snow experience enjoy fun-focused coaching while cruising the whole mountain with their top-rated kids’ instructor. Snow Rangers Academy camps are offered daily with both full and have day options.
Located at the shore of West Lake Tahoe, Homewood Mountain Resort is one of California’s first winter recreation resorts. Offering a family-friendly atmosphere since 1962, Homewood continues to offer premiere winter skiing and snowboarding with a focus on top level guest service and custom vacation packages. Deemed the gem of Lake Tahoe’s West Shore by SKI Magazine, the 1260-acre mountain offers unobstructed views of the lake and surrounding peaks. Flawless, peak-to-shore grooming, the intimate setting of Tahoe’s West Shore, and a classic family focused winter experience make Homewood unique. Homewood is accessible via Interstate 80 to California State Route 89, just 55 miles from Reno Tahoe International Airport.

The staff are supportive and friendly. When we locked our keys in our car they called their own maintenance crew to help us out! Great team work! Saved us from having to pay for a locksmith!
Ditto to all the sentiments regarding the fabulous views, great skiing, and a lot of bang for your buck.

Big mountain terrain with a small mountain feel. limited parking so use caution and arrive early on weekends. Great bang for the buck and views are the best of any ski resort in tahoe.

Good Discounts Liftopia! Keep it up! and Thank you.
..the snow was GREAT!
Homewood is one of the few "home feeling" resort around the Lake. I hope they keep it that way. Lots of fun different terrain to ski on! Love the tough stuff!

Seriously AWESOME powder day last Saturday!!! If you are a beginner, do your homework and find a place with more beginner runs. Homewood is incredible for Intermediate and Advanced. Reminded us of a June Mountain atmosphere!!! Will definitely return!!!

I would NOT recommend Homewood for beginning/advanced beginning snowboarders. The pole lift is very difficult for beginners & kids to navigate and the green trails from the chair lift are extremely narrow. This is my 4th boarding trip and I was extremely uncomfortable at Homewood.

I always enjoy Homewood as the runs are long and there is something for every ability. Incredible views and great people.
I was a little bummed when I purchased my lift ticket 3 days before my planned day with a group of us,(mono skiers) and they changed their minds and went to Mt. Rose for some deep powder. That is the risk of buying anything in advance. I hope to make it to Homewood sometime this season.

The views rock and the price is right BUT we went on the Presidents Day Weekend was waaaaaay too crowded - I would never go again on a cword day but betting that any other time would be great. Runs are a little narrow for my taste but the views are awesome!

Our Liftopia tickets were pre-printed and awaiting us at the Homewood North Lodge main office. No need for a printed hardcopy (good thing, since our rental didn't have a printer).

This was the first time skiing Homewood after years at the other Tahoe resorts. Based on the runs, the snow, the price, and the location, I would definitely I would definitely come back.

The views alone are worth the lift ticket price.One could sit for hours above the Face Run and admire the views. I was empressed with the angles on the blue runs. they would be considered black diamonds at other resorts.
The black diamonds are off the hook!

Don't bring a camera or you will spend all day stopping to take pics instead of skiing. I've skied 7 resorts around the lake now, and this is by the far the most outstanding for views. Only Heavenly's ridge runs come close, but at twice the price. And definitely check liftopia for the tickets. The homewood office had them ready for us, our names right on the tickets.
