About this audio guide
This guide to the Mount Norquay Lookout in Banff traces the mountain's second-ever Canadian chairlift, built in nineteen forty-eight, and the alpine tearoom that opened at its summit a few years later as a reward for skiers who braved the ride. It follows the tearoom into the nineteen fifties, when a Hollywood film crew came to shoot a western nearby and rode the same lift up. Look for the red chairs at this pullout, still marking the start of that climb.
