    You are forgetting the unique Poma pulse double chondola that used to run up the north american route. Also, before the pulse chondola, they had a single chairlift (poma?).

      I found tons more old historic photos of Norquay that show the single chair, the Poma double (and gondola), the old Cascade chair, the stoney squaw t-bar, and the tandem Poma platter lifts:

        It really looks like the pulse double uses the support structures and towers of the old poma double.

      The single chair is most likely a Constam due to the chair and tower design. Installation records list a “2C/Gondola” under the name “Banff Chairlift Corp” in 1966, it could only be the old North American double.

    I have a photo that was likely taken in the mid to late 1980’s:

    It appears to show a platter lift running up the bottom section of the Lone Pine slope. It also shows the old Cascade double chair’s midstation, and the steeper end section. The Leitner quad runs further to the right of where the double ran.
