Check the mountain before booking your ski trip
Homewood has announced infrastructure changes, including a new gondola project. Check its current operations and arrival information for your travel dates. For Granlibakken, confirm ski-hill or sled-hill sessions directly with the resort; accommodation alone does not establish which activities are included. Winter conditions can slow travel on the west shore.

Mountain and trip fit
- The operator identifies winter 2026/27 as the gondola opening goal.
- An opening goal is a target, not a guarantee of operation on your dates.
Use the resort’s current mountain map and conditions report when the season approaches. Avoid basing your trip on an older lift layout while infrastructure changes are under way.
Official mountain or destination information →
Mountain figures describe the destination’s published inventory, not the terrain guaranteed open for your visit. Check the daily lift and trail report.
Winter arrival and access
Choose your exact West Shore lodging address and compare the route to Homewood. Granlibakken is a separate ski hill near Tahoe City; accommodation there does not place you at Homewood’s lifts.

Before you reserve
Confirm the exact room or unit, actual beds, maximum occupancy, kitchen equipment, pet rules and accessibility needs. Compare identical dates and guest counts, including taxes, cleaning costs, resort charges and parking. Read the deposit and cancellation terms before paying. Check your lesson meeting point and rental pickup separately from your lodging address.
