"It has been a season of up and downs with major snowstorms and downpours, the warm temperatures and lack of precipitation in the forecast has forced us to adjust our closing date. Thank you to all who have celebrated this season with us."
"The West Shore resort will have been open less than three months this winter. The resort, a longtime locals' favorite, has made headlines in recent years. It did not open at all for the 2024-25 season after a battle over the resort's future."
"An ownership group had attempted to make the mountain private in 2022, but locals fought back - and won. Homewood remained public."
Homewood Mountain Resort at Lake Tahoe abruptly closed its season on March 17, 2026, five days earlier than initially planned. The resort cited warm temperatures and lack of precipitation in the forecast as reasons for the early closure. This season was notably short, with the resort opening just before New Year's weekend on December 27 after late-December snowstorms enabled operations to begin. The West Shore resort operated for less than three months total. Homewood has faced significant challenges in recent years, including not opening at all during the 2024-25 season following disputes over its future. The resort successfully remained public after locals opposed an ownership group's 2022 attempt to make it private.
