In the Winter of 2022 Art Chapman president of JMA Ventures which bought Homewood in 2006 announced a new plan for it's development.
They are considering a members only concept for access to the slopes.
They partnered with Discovery Land Company who also represents Montanas Yellowstone Club, a private golf-ski club, so there was speculation HMR would be built on that model.
Chapman rebuffs that comparison. He says Homewoods future may be more akin to Martis Camp, a gated housing community in Truckee with direct access to Northstar Mountain Resort via a single chairlift on the backside of Mount Pluto.
Construction on the first seven units at the North Base began in November 2022. The next phase will start in the spring or summer of 2023 on 32 townhomes. Once the North Base units are complete, construction will move to the South Base, where the majority of homes will be built.
The total development will take around 10 years.
Homewood Mountain and Lake Club (2022)
A private club owned by JMA Ventures will introduce a membership-based operation model in the coming years. Real estate offerings will also be available.
Homewood Mountain Resort will transition to its membership-based model over three years beginning in 2022. Following its transition, our neighbors in the west shore will still be able to ski Homewood's ski mountain on pre-scheduled community days. Additionally, community benefit days will be available where all members and interested guests may pay a lift fee that will be donated to non-profit organizations benefitting the Lake Tahoe community, as well as fund the ongoing maintenance of the robust summer trail system.
Welcome
In a February 28th The Tahoe Basin Design Review Committee metting they rejected what they called the Phase 2 Lot 5 design, saying they were Modern Mountain architecture which did not conform to the the 2011 Homewood Mountain Resort (HMR) Master Plan which specified "Old Homewood" architecture.
2011 design
Art Chapman said that is the current standard because young people want more modern architecture with large window to bring the outdoors inside.
The committee said they liked their plan, but their job was to review it for conformity.
I attended the zoom committee meeting. During the meeting they mentioned a variety of other guidelines. revealing the complexity of design decisions.

Were going to get out of that [day ticket] business. The day-skier model doesnt work for Homewood just like it isnt working for a lot of small ski areas across the country, and so weve had to come up with a new model to sustain Homewood. Art Chapman, President of JMA Ventures (Owner of Homewood Mountain Resort).
