HomewoodAsk a weathered local where his favorite place to go on a powder day is, and nine times out of 10 he’ll answer Homewood. No lines and loads of tree-skiing mean fresh tracks and face shots every run for those who want them. And for those who don’t, this unassuming mountain on the West Shore has by far the area’s best view of Lake Tahoe from its many groomers cascading off of Ellis Peak. Best features are the lack of crowds, easy access from Hwy 89, and kids under 10 ski free when accompanied by an adult.
