Homewood Mountain Resort

West lake boulevard highway 890, +1 530 525-2900, (http://www.skihomewood.com/. homewood is a large resort covering two mountains with variable terrain and many different ski runs, located directly on the lake and producing some of the best views of the lake, 6 miles south of tahoe city. typically, homewood is the least busy resort, has cheaper tickets than most including a senior season pass. the smaller crowds mean better skiing longer after storms, and more relaxed attitude than some tahoe areas. its main downside is that it has no detachable high speed chairlifts, although they have replaced their oldest and slowest main double chair with a modern triple chair. homewood is a year round resort with events for all seasons:

Winter - The primary focus is the ski area its self with its uncrowded slopes and wide variety of terrain.

Spring - The focus remains the Ski area through its general closing on Easter weekend, from here on things are relatively quiet until the boating season starts up in May.

Summer - Durring the Summer months the Ski area hosts a number of concerts and music festivals, the town also becomes the focus of many others activities including: Hiking, swimming, Boating with its hub being Obexor's Marina, and 4wheeling with the end of the fabled Rubicon Trail near by.

Fall - with the traditional end of summer on Labour day weekend the Fall season comences, much like spring it is caught between the two high seasons and is a wonderful time to experience the resort in a time of quiet transition.
