Salt Lake City based Doppelmayr specializes in the production of drive platforms for fixed grip lift installations, tower structures, terminal enclosures, chair production, as well as electrical control systems and hydraulic systems for detachable and fixed grip lift installations.

Founded in 1892, Doppelmayr started as a blacksmith shop in Austria. It installed its first rope tow for skiing in the 1930s and today is the leader in uphill transportation at ski resorts worldwide. Doppelmayr’s U.S. facility is one of six in the world. The company’s U.S. operations were in Golden, Colorado, before the merger with Garaventa, a Swiss company.

Today they have 130 full-time employees in Utah, and staff numerous seasonal employees on installations around the country. The current ski business, which accounts for about two-thirds of Doppelmayr’s sales worldwide, is split between high-speed and fixed-grip chairlifts. The former can cost $10 million installed while the latter starts around $1.5 million. Doppelmayr also has a healthy service and parts business, as about 60 percent of about 3,500 chairlifts in North America are one of the company’s many brands.

Large and small businesses members receive one or two free lunches based upon membership level. Additional lunches can be purchased at the member price of $15.

Non-member price $25.
