Terrain and ability at Homewood Mountain

The gondola is intended to replace Madden Chair and reach a future mid-mountain lodge area. The project also proposes moving beginner access higher on the mountain. These are announced improvements; use the current winter map and operations report to determine what is available for the trip.

Arrival, bases and lessons

The resort's in-person address is 5145 West Lake Boulevard in Homewood. Its construction update says mountain areas, trails and access roads are closed until winter reopening. Follow current arrival instructions and do not use a forecast as evidence that lifts are open.

Plan a meetup at Homewood Mountain

Once winter operations are confirmed, choose the actual operating base and ticket-pickup location. Put a backup date or nearby alternative in the plan while the opening schedule is uncertain, and check the latest project update before friends make travel commitments.

Use the meetup message planner for Homewood Mountain to agree on your date, terrain, pace and meeting point.
