A few words on the Snow at Homewood Mountain Resort

Homewood has no detail snow data, but we estimate 350 inches snowfall, based upon its location on the west side of Lake Tahoe. Homewood is forested to its 7,900 foot summit, so powder skiing can be good even on severe storm days. Average snow density of 12% is not the blower of the Rockies but easily managed on modern fat rockered skis

Accumulation and Preservation

With its abundant snowfall Homewood should average about 3/4 open at Christmas. However, California droughts can be extreme, so even the snowiest areas are less than ΒΌ open at Christmas in the worst 15% of seasons. Homewood is about half east-facing and elevation tops out at 7,900 feet, so overall snow preservation is below average for the Sierra.
