Doppelmayr USA Partners with Ski Utah in New Multi-Year Partnership

Through this initiative, Doppelmayr and Ski Utah will work together to support our resort partners and inspire future industry leaders. From engineering and manufacturing to operations, maintenance, and resort leadership, the partnership is designed to highlight the wide range of career opportunities available within the ski industry and demonstrate that long-term, meaningful careers are possible both on and off the mountain.

Doppelmayr USA has called Utah home for over 40 years with their headquarters and manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City. Alex Adema, Vice President of Sales at Doppelmayr USA, has served on the Ski Utah Board of Directors for the past five years and looks forward to continuing to grow the relationship through this expanded partnership. These and other long-standing ties highlight the ongoing involvement and deep investment that Doppelmayr has made in the success and sustainability of Utah’s ski industry.

Keith Johns, President, Doppelmayr USA, shares: “Ski Utah plays an important role in supporting our resorts and the people behind them. This multi-year partnership allows us to further invest in the industry, support our local community, and help showcase the many career paths that exist within skiing. We are excited to see how this partnership continues to grow in the years ahead.”

As part of the first year of the partnership, Doppelmayr USA is serving as a presenting sponsor of Ski Utah’s Early Ups series, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to work in the Utah ski industry. In addition, Doppelmayr USA is a supporting partner of Ski Utah’s Discover Winter program, an initiative designed to introduce new audiences to skiing and snowboarding. Together, these programs reflect Doppelmayr’s commitment to supporting industry growth and career pathways, while also helping introduce new audiences to Utah’s mountains through Discover Winter.

"Utah’s ski resorts are in the midst of an unprecedented period of growth and investment, and partnerships like this one with Doppelmayr USA are critical to that momentum,” said Nathan Rafferty, President and CEO of Ski Utah. “As Utah prepares to welcome the world back in 2034, Doppelmayr USA's leadership in lift technology plays an essential role in helping resorts move people safely and efficiently through the mountains, while supporting our member resorts, our communities and the future of Utah skiing.”

With strong roots in Utah, Doppelmayr USA remains committed to supporting Ski Utah, resort partners, and the greater ski community. This multi-year partnership represents an ongoing investment in the people, careers, innovation, and promotion that keep Utah’s ski industry thriving.
