One way you can tell this is an earlier variant of the UNI G compared to the other high speed quads at Beaver Creek with UNI G terminals is that at the top, the chairs make the turnaround in one continuous turn, whereas everything from the Lower/Upper Beaver Creek Mountain Expresses onwards has the chairs make two sharp 90 degree turns with a short straight segment (even the ones that don’t have 90 degree loading or unloading).
I know this is UNI-G and is a much later variant of Doppelmayr, but I am suprised that on this and Upper and Lower Beaver Creek Mountain Lifts they didn’t copy the original terminal exterior.
This lift has the most vertical rise of any lift on the mountain at 2,160 feet.

I think there’s more to it than that though, given that OBX at Park City has one of each…
