It's a deflection bullwheel for a t-bar over in Austria I believe.

There are a bunch of Doppelmayr avalanche blasting lifts that have platter type carriers for dropping charges that look similar.

Not where, but they are doppelmayr A or BC assemblies on a curve station of a T bar.

Why would there only be one side of the T-Bar?

Here is a picture of an avalanche blasting lift that is 2400m long in the 2005 Worldbook. I thought it might be like this because there is no return side.

Triangular T-Bar like Breckenridge perhaps?

I think that I agree with PoloxSkier. Judging by the carrier going around the assembely it is either a t-bar or possibly a platter lift. The downhill side might be able to go over the cliff, rather than around it.
