Does anyone have pictures of the single at Calgary Olympic Park?
I have some pics that I will be uploading of a single in Kitzbuhel that was built in 1956 I think.

Theres a place for all of God's creatures, right next to the mashed potatoes.
"You could say that a mountain is alot like a woman, once you think you know every inch of her and you're about to dip your skis into some soft, deep powder...Bam, you've got two broken legs, cracked ribs and you pay your $20 just to let her punch your lift ticket all over again"

I haven't come across any photos but i'll keep looking. The lift is actually hard to get access to. The base is about halfway up and the only way to get there is to drive to the top of the hill which few people do. The lift doesn't appear to have more than 10 carriers and the top terminal is similar in appearance to a YAN box. Does a lift which carries so few people and is so short even need tensioning?

The only way a lift wouldn't need a counterweight is if it didn't have a vertical rise and had an area inbetween the spans so the lift could tension itself. The double at the Yellowstone Club which connects the two mountains together doesn't have a tension system.

Is the bubbled pulse Quad run with several chairs in a row close together and run in a psudo-jigback format?

The Pulse Quad at the Yellowstone club does not run backwards. It's set up just like any other chairlift, except that there is a total of 6 carriers on the entire line that have bubbles. 3 carriers on each side of the haul rope pretty close behind each other. Once the carriers reaches the stations, the lift slows and people unload the lift, then the carriers go around the bullwheel and then head in the other direction.
Does that make sense?
