Homewood to open for Thanksgiving weekend celebration Nov. 23-25 with skiing, snowboarding, snow play and shopping With snow on the ground and in the forecast, Homewood Mountain Resort is thrilled to announce that it will open on "White Friday," Nov. 23 through Sunday, Nov. 25 for a special Thanksgiving holiday weekend of skiing, snowboarding, sledding and shopping. Current plans call for operations on Homewood’s beginner area above the North Lodge, as well as additional terrain if weather and conditions permit. Beginner lift tickets for the holiday weekend will cost just $35, while all-mountain tickets will be $59. Homewood’s team has been busy preparing the resort to ensure that the base area will provide an excellent surface for beginners and those looking to sharpen rusty skills after a summer away from the slopes. And Homewood’s terrain park crew is planning for a holiday weekend terrain park option for freestyle skiers and riders above the beginner terrain. Homewood will offer its full-service rental shop, ski and snowboard beginner lesson programs, as well as the North Lodge cafeteria and bar – with all the Thanksgiving weekend football games on TV – for the weekend celebration. Pick up your season pass, or buy one! Homewood's Guest Services Office will be open at 8 a.m. on "White Friday" to make sure we get season passes printed for all who want to get out on the hill and enjoy the new snow. And if you haven't yet bought your pass, you can secure your unrestricted Homewood season pass in-person and never worry about blackout dates, wind holds or overcrowded slopes all winter long. Adult no-blackout passes are just $299 for locals, returning passholders, and other-area passholders. And just $399 for everyone else. Family passes (2 adult + 2 child/teen passes) are just $799! (That's less than the price of 1 unrestricted pass at many Tahoe resorts.) Seniors (62-69) pay just $199 for unrestricted access. And Seniors 70+ pay just $159.
