Homewood ski resort in Lake Tahoe unveils affordable season-pass deals (Photos)

A modest ski resort in Lake Tahoe with a neighborhood feel, Homewood Mountain Resort also features some modest pricing for skiing and snowboarding.

Homewood, located literally across the street from the waters of Lake Tahoe’s west shore, is now selling 2013-14 season passes for next season. And you guessed it, the prices are modest.

2013-14 Homewood season pass prices

• Adult (19-61): $359

• Adult (19-61) local employee: $299*

• Teen (13-18): $309

• Child (5-12): $119

• Senior (62-69): $239

• Super Senior (70+): $209

• Family Pass: $799

• Family Pass for local employee: $699*

• Heritage 3 Generations Pass: $1,099

“Homewood is proud to be known as one of the friendliest Lake Tahoe resorts for families, and we’re pleased to continue that legacy with outstanding deals on family-oriented passes,” said Paul Raymore, Homewood’s marketing director. “What’s less well known is how uncrowded Homewood can be, even on the busiest holiday weekends, which makes our no-blackout season passes a phenomenal value for individuals, couples, and groups of friends looking to avoid the crowds that can sometimes be found at other resorts.”

After launching last season with strong interest, Homewood is once again offering its Family Season Pass – two adults and two children/teens receive unlimited access for just $799, a potential savings of over $500 per family.

And local working families get an even bigger discount, with $699 Family Passes available to adults who can show a paystub from a Tahoe Basin or Truckee employer.

New for the 2013-14 season, the Heritage 3 Generations Pass is designed to celebrate those families that have been enjoying the slopes for three full generations. For the low price of $1,099, the Heritage 3 Generations Pass includes unlimited access for two seniors/super seniors, two adults and two teens/children – six passes in total and a potential savings of more than $700 per family.

Homewood’s $99 down payment option allows skiers or snowboarders to lock in the lowest rate on their 2013-14 season pass and pay the balance in October.

Passholders who buy before May 31 receive extra buddy passes. As an added perk to those willing to buy early, Homewood will include three “buddy pass” coupons worth 30 percent off the price of a lift ticket for a friend or family member with every Adult, Senior and Super Senior pass purchase.

All Homewood passes also come with unlimited privileges at Red Lodge Mountain Resort in Montana, and five days of lift access at Whitefish Mountain Resort, also in Montana. Additionally, Homewood season passholders enjoy discounts on food and beverage purchases, rentals and retail items.
