Snowbasin Announces Plans for Highly Anticipated New High-Speed Lift Snowbasin Resort is thrilled to announce the construction of a new six-person high-speed lift that will enhance 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 2023-2024 winter season. DeMoisy Express, aptly named after the historic DeMoisy Peak that it will be nestled beneath, is the highly anticipated addition to the award-winning advanced lift system at Snowbasin. 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. Through this strategic placement, Snowbasin will be able to double the uphill availability 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,” said Davy Ratchford, Vice President and General Manager of Snowbasin Resort. “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. Not only will this lift provide our guests with more convenient access to some of their favorite areas on the mountain, but it will also increase capacity and allow us to maintain access to the Strawberry area during certain times that can challenge the ongoing The Ogden Valley chapter of Sons of Utah Pioneers is sponsoring a series of six Utah history classes taught by recently retired Weber State University professor Gene Sessions.
