We got some comp tickets to Homewood, my first time skiing here. It’s a funky little old ski area with awesome views of the lake.

Homewood is located on the west shore, a 5-iron from the waters edge. It’s very old school—slow lifts with plywood seats and no safety bars, and very few people on the hill.

It has great tree skiing and open boundaries to the west, so you could bring your skins and take off for the higher ridges. The whole place has the feel of lift-accessed backcountry.
