The Homewood Mountain Resort Ski Area Master Plan was approved by Placer County and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency in 2012. The Master Plan will guide the redevelopment of the ski resort into a mixed-use north base area, a residential south base area, and a mid-mountain lodge with beginner ski area. Whit Manley and Chip Wilkins represented the ownership group in obtaining entitlements and approvals and also defended them in federal and state litigation over the adequacy of the EIR/EIS for the project. The litigation was eventually settled. The project is scheduled to break ground in 2018.
