All I can tell from the picture is that it has a cable but itigjt be scooper and in which case it's a fixed platter surface lift built by poma at snowmass.

I was kind of wondering if it might be Campground. The Campground lift is interesting as it is the former Ajax Express originally installed as a FGQ in 1986 at Ajax and modified to be a HSQ for 1987. The towers and upper drive terminal was moved to Snowmass in 2003 to replace one of the original Riblet FGD which formerly terminated at the top of the knob. The lift was shortened to allow room for VX and the Knob and the restaurant. The double chairs and return station were new for 2003. Feel free to add any left out details.
