  • Snowbasin Resort in Utah has announced a new high speed, six-seater chairlift. The lift will replace Snowbasin’s oldest fixed grip, a 1979 CTEC triple, reducing the trip from 9.2 minutes to 4.9 minutes. Snowbasin has partnered with Leitner-Poma of America to get this done. The lift is designed to move 1,800 passengers per hour, but future plans will increase the capacity to 2,400 passengers per hour by adding an additional 17 chairs. Construction is expected to begin in mid-July and run through November.
