Homewood Mountain Resort owns over 1,260 acres of the best skiing and snowboarding terrain in the Lake Tahoe region. Mountain: 1,260 Acres Base elevation of 6,230' Summit elevation of 7,880' 1,650 vertical feet elevation gain 8 Lifts 64 Runs 15% beginner terrain 50% intermediate terrain 35% advanced terrain 2 terrain parks Longest run is 2 miles long - "Rainbow Ridge" Terrain: From groomed boulevards to our trademark hidden powder stashes, Homwood has it all. And with Ellis Peak sheltering our entire mountain from the high-ridge winds, the term "wind hold" is barely ever heard around Homewoods. Weather: With an average snowfall of around 450 inches per season, and a whopping 300 days of sunshine per year, it's no wonder that SKI Magazine readers ranked Homewood as one of the Top 10 ski resorts in California and Nevada in 2012.
