China Peak became Sierra Summit from about 1986 through 2007, then Snow Summit sold it. The name reverted to China Peak. I didn’t ski at Snow Summit in those years, so don’t recognize the lifts.
Not unique, just less common. Old chair 9 at Crystal/current Cascade at Big Sky has the same (although Big Sky converted the return to hydraulic rather than counterweight tensioning).
Where was this lift relocated from?

Pretty sure this lift was relocated from snow summit in 1995 either the old chair 1 or chair 2 there.

That seems likely. It was probably the triple that got removed in 1992.

Especially considering that Lift 9 at Snow Summit has the same unique terminals as this lift.

If China Peak were to make any of their lifts detachable, this would probably be it as the main out of base lift.
