Snowbasin Announces New Six-Person Lift for 2023-24: DeMoisy Express

Snowbasin has announces a new six-Person Lift for 2023-24, the DeMoisy Express. They say:

"We are thrilled to announce the construction of a highly anticipated six-person lift that will enhance the skier experience and provide additional lift capacity in the Strawberry area of the resort. The installation of the new DeMoisy Express is set to take place in advance of the 2023-24 winter season.

DeMoisy Express, aptly named after the historic DeMoisy Peak that it will be nestled beneath, will add to our award-winning advanced lift system. The bottom terminal will be positioned near the existing Strawberry Gondola bottom terminal. The top terminal will drop passengers in a wind-protected area above Dan’s Run.

DeMoisy Express NEW

•Six-Person Express Lift from Leitner-Poma
•Ride Time: 10 Minutes
•Capacity: up to 2,400 Skiers per Hour
•New Trails
•Improved Wind Protection

Through this strategic placement, we will be able to double the uphill capacity of this region, provide multiple options for skiers and riders into the Strawberry area, and allow access to this varied and sought-after terrain more frequently throughout the season. Additional benefits include the creation of new trails, more convenient access to the main base area and additional capacity to relieve congestion in the Strawberry area on busier days.

"To say that both the Snowbasin staff and loyal guests will be excited about this lift announcement may be the understatement of the year. DeMoisy Express has been contemplated as part of our future plans for the resort, and we are thrilled to be moving forward on this incredible addition."- Davy Ratchford, Vice President and General Manager of Snowbasin Resort

DeMoisy Express will be Snowbasin's 13th lift and the most recent addition since the new Middle Bowl Express in 2021. As with Middle Bowl, the resort will be working with Leitner POMA of America for the manufacturing and installation of this project. The new chairlift will have the ability to transport 2,400 riders every hour, with bottom-to-top service in approximately ten minutes.
