barryj Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Anybody been there? Any carving runs that stand out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipstar Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Homewood is pretty nice; the lifts are a bit slow but the run in front of the carpark when it is good snow conditions is AWESOME for carving earlier in the day; gets cut up though and can go into an ice/thaw mode late in the day though sometimes. Looking up the hill, there are some nice runs down the left side of the hill running to mid mountain, nice mid pitch groomers. All in all a nice place to spend a day or so especially if you have done a big day on the quicker lifts at Rose, Alpine, Squaw etc. Because the lifts are a bit slower the crowds seem to be minimal as well (my biggest issue is lots of ppl on the way down).

davekempmeister Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 this goes back 10-12 years but Homewood used to do a two for one day mid-week. usually, it was wednesday or whatever day they thought business needed a boost. place is awesome - car is super accessible and the run back to the car looks like you'll end up in the lake.

kipstar Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 yeah, as Davekempmeister says, around Tahoe there are some sweet deals if you are willing to go beyond Squaw/Northstar/Heavenly; different days different promotions; I think last time I rode Tahoe (2005) we didn't pay full price a single day while there - every day was some promotion running here or there. Homewood that run to the carpark really does feel like you will end up in the lake; a few runs like that on the hill; one of the prettiest to ride that's for sure.

Sasquatch_Surfer Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Love Homewood, nice place, kind of a throw back especially around Lake Tahoe. Nice tree runs when there is some fresh snow. I agree with kipstar though, at the end of the day it can seem crowded on the way down if you take the main runs. But the views can be awesome.
