Funny thing today I was dropping of some things up in Belgrade Mt. to get powder coated and the shop had two of the original single chairs from the summit lift waiting to be refinished, the shop owner said that they were found in a barn.
They’re still doing a lot of concrete work around the stations so I haven’t taken pictures yet. Rest assured I will as soon as construction is complete.
The Summit single (the bicable one) was converted into a double chairlift before being removed: https://auctions.glasstrio.com/stuff/i/i_wy_jackson_snow_69257.jpg

Found some information for the spreadsheet. The first summit chairlift opened in 1947 and was upgraded to a double in 1958. It was made using parts from a gold mine tramway. The chairlift was tensioned from the bottom, not sure about the drive. From the pictures it looks like it had a midstation. https://snowkingmountain.com/discover-snow-king/snow-king-mountain-resort-history/#:~:text=1947,chairlift%20opens%20(January%207). Skilifts.org says the manufacture is american steel and wire http://www.skilifts.org/old/wy-snowking.htm
