It is east facing so along with the low elevation (lakeside) the morning sun damages the snow early. Otherwise, the tree skiing is good and the views are incredible. It's a great value with children's tickets for $10 and adults about $50. About 25 miles from South Lake Tahoe along mountain roads that are often closed or controlled in good... More

Very varied skiing - plenty for beginners and the more advanced - though some of the lifts could do with updating. More parking or better shuttles would be good More

It was deep powder the day I was there. Small area but some great glade skiing and the views are as good or better than Heavenly. More

How can you beat walking out of the casino and on the ski lift? Nice bartenders on the mountain. Great ski host also, and the best view of Lake Tahoe you will ever see. More

I am a little bit hesitant to review this ski hill for fear that others may start visiting it. During our first couple of trips to Tahoe back in the late 90's, we spent a lot of time in lift lines and paid a lot of money to ski at Heavenly. Then, a timeshare salesman told us about Homewood, claiming... More

Went skiing with a friend at Homewood on Monday Feb. 20. Lift ticket prices are decent, the ski equipment rental place at the resort is fast & friendly and I was very pleased with the quality of the equipment. Homewood has a really good and mellow vibe. No lift lines most of the day, well groomed runs, amazing views of... More

I recently visited Homewood after finding some great deals at skiforfree. I saved about 25% on lift tickets from the site. I would recommend Homewood to everyone. It is a great park for all skier and boarder levels, plus you can't beat the great deals on lift tickets. Head up now while the snow is falling! More

We enrolled our 4 year old into a full day ski school lesson over the weekend. Our daughter still likes her afternoon naps, so I was worried that the day would be too long, but she never seemed to get tired until the very end. There were breaks with food and water and a mostly healthy lunch. The staff was... More

I came here 3 times Jan 2012 and had a great time. It's a great place for beginners to learn and a great place for intermediate level folks to have a good time. I haven't been snowboarding for about 5 years so I liked the beginner area because it was fairly wide and open. The funky lifts for those hills... More
