Homewood Mountain Resort is in West Shore of Lake Tahoe, California. Homewood is a Lake Tahoe West Shore ski resort with a new gondola under construction. The official project page gives winter 2026–27 as the gondola's opening goal, rather than a confirmed operating date. Check current winter access and available products before making travel plans.

- Lake Tahoe West Shore location
- Gondola project replacing Madden Chair
- Verify reopening and terrain availability

## Terrain and ability

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

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 Resort](https://skibudsapp.com/guides/ski-buddy-meetup-checklist?resort=homewood#meetup-planner) to agree on your date, terrain, pace and meeting point.
