Boutique mountain resort on Lake Tahoe’s west shore is celebrating its 60th season and offers incredible value with lesson package and lift ticket deals
The winter season is set to begin on Wednesday, December 15 at Homewood Mountain Resort on Lake Tahoe’s west shore. This season the resort is celebrating its 60th winter with the return of lesson and lift ticket deals, events, and more. Homewood will also continue to encourage advance purchase lift tickets, offer contactless lift ticket pick-up at kiosks in the resort’s base area, and leverage mobile app food ordering from its restaurants to offer skiers and riders added convenience and flexibility.
“With over 40 inches of new snow since Sunday evening and more on the way this week, our team has been working hard to get the mountain ready to invite guests back for Homewood’s 60th season. Our guests will find that not only are lift tickets and lesson deals back this season, some of our most popular events are returning. We’re also looking forward to celebrating the history of our resort and the memories our guests have made here over the years.”
– Kevin Mitchell, Homewood Mountain Resort general manager
