Homewood Mountain Resort, Homewood

I cannot say enough great things about this resort. As first time ski/snow boarders we didn’t know what to expect. We signed up for group lessons and their instructors were top notch. They had us all independent after a lesson and we were able to progress from there. Their prices are affordable, gear rental is good quality, and the location is wonderful. It’s not as busy as the other resorts and their hospitality is awesome. Very family friendly as well as adult friendly… (two bars on premises). We were with other experienced skiers and snow boarders and they enjoyed their advanced trails. Shout out to our instructors Lou, Tim, and Jose. We wouldn’t have had a great time without you all. The view from the resort is unmatched. 10/10 will be back.

Homewood is like the sweet spot of ski resorts. Laid back, not crowded, trails for every skier level, low prices, and maybe the best view of Lake Tahoe in the area. The only criticism is that the Big Blue lookout bar should have more food options for lunch (they only had burritos) but the view of the lake from sitting outside was so amazing.
