Homewood ski resort in Lake Tahoe opens Wednesday — free lift tickets!

December 10, 2013 By Jeffrey Weidel

Like many Lake Tahoe ski resorts, Homewood Mountain Resort is happy to finally be opening this season for skiing and snowboarding.

However, Homewood ski resort has added a little twist to its opening day this Wednesday, Dec. 11 – Opening day lift tickets are free!

Recent storms in the Lake Tahoe region dropped a total of 27 inches of fresh snow on Homewood ski resort, located on Lake Tahoe’s west shore off Highway 89. The snow storm augmented the base layer created by Homewood ski resort’s snowmaking crew over the past seven days.

Homewood had been scheduled to open on Friday, Dec. 13.

“With over two feet of fresh snow on the ground from recent storms, everybody at Homewood has been eager to open up the resort to the public and welcome the Homewood family back for another great season of skiing and snowboarding,” said Homewood Marketing Director Paul Raymore. “And what better way to kick off the season than with a day of free skiing and riding for all!”

Available terrain at Homewood

Homewood ski resort will open on Wednesday with the Happy Platter surface lift, Magic Carpet beginner runs, and HappyPark terrain park all available from the resort’s North Lodge.

In addition to skiing and snowboarding, skiers and snowboarders will be able to enjoy a selection of hot lunch items at the Homewood ski resort’s North Lodge Café Grill. The grill is a full retail store with gift ideas for skiers and riders, and both child and adult ski and snowboard lessons and rentals.

How to get Free lift ticket

To get a free lift ticket, skiers and riders simply need to check in at any Homewood ski resort ticket window on Wednesday.

Homewood is accessible via Interstate 80 to Highway 89, just 55 miles from RenoTahoeInternationalAirport.

Reduced lift tickets rest of the week

After Wednesday, Homewood will offer early-season lift ticket pricing of $29 for Sunday through Friday, and $39 on Saturdays, until the resort is able to open additional terrain to the public.
