After a full season off the slopes, Homewood Mountain Resort on Lake Tahoe’s West Shore has officially reopened for the 2025–26 winter season. This beloved ski area is once again welcoming skiers and snowboarders looking for incredible lake views, smaller crowds, and a relaxed mountain atmosphere.
Homewood paused operations during the 2024–25 season while navigating redevelopment plans and community concerns, including preserving public access and updating infrastructure. With approvals in place, Homewood is back, offering one of the most scenic ski experiences in Lake Tahoe.

What Makes Homewood Mountain Resort Special?
Unmatched Lake Tahoe Views
Homewood is known for its panoramic views of Lake Tahoe, allowing skiers to ride slopes that look straight out over the water — a rare experience among Tahoe ski resorts.
Smaller Crowds, Relaxed Skiing, and Snowcat Adventures
Compared to larger resorts, Homewood offers shorter lift lines, a quieter atmosphere, and terrain for all skill levels. It’s ideal for families, beginners, and anyone seeking a more laid-back ski day.
For a truly unique family adventure, Homewood Snowcat Adventures takes you beyond the resort's traditional ski boudaries to over 750 acres of untouched backcountry terrain on the flanks of Ellis Peak. Explore untouched and enjoy a memoriable mountain experience that few ever get to see. Perfect for families, friends, corporate outings, celebrations, and anyone who loves skiing and snowboarding in off-site terrian.
Family-Friendly Terrain
Beginner slopes at the base area make Homewood especially welcoming for families and kids. Lessons in the North Carpet area provide an easy, stress-free way to learn to ski.
Flexible Pass Options
For the 2025–26 season, Homewood offers a variety of lift ticket and season pass options, including weekly and value passes. These flexible choices make skiing more accessible for locals, second homeowners, and visitors staying on Tahoe’s West Shore.
Ski California Safety Day (Jan 24th & Jan 25th) & Snickers & Stickers for Safety (Jan 24th)! Celebrate all week with special dicsounts for first time beginner lessons, retail shop, and mid- week lift tickets.
A Community-Focused Future
While the new gondola is planned for a future phase, Homewood remains committed to public access and thoughtful improvements that support its local roots.
Why Ski Homewood This Season?
Homewood offers stunning lake views while you ski, fewer crowds, and a relaxed pace on the mountain. The terrain is well suited for families, kids, and skiers of all ability levels, with affordable lift ticket and pass options. It’s a classic West Shore Tahoe experience that feels welcoming, scenic, and uncrowded.
