NEWS RELEASE
MOUNT ST. LOUIS MOONSTONE
*************************
Mount St. Louis Moonstone (MSLM) is proud to announce that the mountain will be home to Canada’s first high-speed eight-pack chairlift in the 2023-24 season.

In partnership with Doppelmayr Canada, MSLM continues to cement its commitment to reinvestment and improving guest experience by becoming the first ski area in Canada to offer skiers and snowboarders the D-Line eight-seater chairlift with Doppelmayr Direct Drive.

Operations director Andre Huter says, “The lift will be like no other chairlift in North America with a special L-shape drive terminal.”

The lift will start from the Moonstone base lodge and travel to the highest elevation at the Moonstone Summit.

The D-Line raises the bar in terms of passenger comfort, safety, and quality — and ranks among the most technologically advanced ropeways. The installation will have the highest design capacity in North America with the ability to move 4,250 people per hour. The new Adventure8 features heated seats, manual lock child-friendly safety bars with footrests and rise-able loading carpet for young skiers and riders. It will replace the Adventure Express.

General manager Robert Huter says, “My family remains dedicated to providing the finest skiing and snowboarding experience in Ontario. This advancement helps guests spend more time on the slopes and less time waiting in a lift line.”

Efficient, fast, and safe — a new quality of travel is about to unfold at MSLM in the 2023-24 season. Join us. The 2023-24 podium pass sale starts March 6, 2023.

Mount St Louis Moonstone — go where the snow is on the new Adventure8.
