About this audio guide
This guide to Mount Norquay in Banff follows George Encil, the local businessman who installed Canada's second-ever chairlift here in nineteen forty-eight and then quietly bought up the town's other ski hill as well. It threads through nickel rope tows, a lift-only teahouse, and a Hollywood star's summer visit in nineteen fifty-three. Best heard standing near the chairlift's base terminal, watching skiers load for the ride Encil once sold by the quarter.
