Construction is well underway on the new gondola at Homewood Mountain Resort on the shores of Lake Tahoe where crews are quickly making progress from top to bottom. The Homewood Gondola is currently on track to be installed in 2026. Once online it will take guests just above the existing Madden Chair to the location of the future Mid Mountain Lodge. Ride times will decrease and terrain will access will increase.

To celebrate the progress, the resort is hosting a “Homewood Community Social & Gondola Celebration” on Saturday, June 13 at the North Lodge Patio with grub from the San Miguel Food Truck and tunes from Jesse & Jenni of Dead Winter Carpenters. Head out out to Homewood to enjoy the day and get all the latest info on The Gondola Project, the Madden Chair Auction Donation to Sierra Community House and more exciting news about the future of one our favorite resorts.

The Homewood Gondola: Elevating the Beginner Experience

“The Homewood Gondola will allow us to further enhance the experience for first-timers and families. With our new gondola it opens the door to move new skiers and riders up the mountain from the start. By lifting the beginner terrain 1,000 feet higher up the mountain, it will be possible to chase the higher elevation snow and capture lake views, creating an inspiring and scenic learning environment. The Homewood Gondola is on track to be installed in 2026, bringing a new era of mountain-to-lake connection and enhanced skier experience.”
