This is a second generation Omega terminal where the drive has the larger roof and the bottom a lower roof. The first gen had both low with a hump on the drive if it was a 6. The third had both terminals as that larger roof. The fourth (or omega-LPA hybrid) took elements from the LPA terminal and Omega terminals in the transition period.
The first gen had both low with a hump on the drive if it was a 6. Not necessarily.
First-gen Omega high speed quads are likely to have a hump on their drive terminal if they are longer than 5,000 feet, as is the case with the Peak 8 SuperConnect, Powder Gulch Express, Green Mountain Express, and Teacup Express.
Likewise, there are a number of first-gen Omega high speed six packs that don’t feature a raised stack on their drive terminal, including a handful in Ontario, and even a few western examples like Quicksilver Super6:
The Skyline Express at Vail is another example of a first-gen Omega quad with a raised stack on its drive terminal, although you can’t really see it due to the fact that the upper terminal is inside a barn.
And I think the Pete’s Express technically has a raised stack for its drive’s infrastructure, although it’s hard to tell because of the custom skin that the Blue Sky Basin high speed quads have.
And Top of the World provides another example of a first-gen Omega six pack without a raised stack.
This lift received new logos on stations as well as a new paint job with grouse’s new ownership. They look fresh, however they did not add a LPA logo unlike the original design. Same case for the Screaming Eagle.

What is with the raised drive terminal. Never seen that before

Ajax Express has them too. This was a later variant of the Omega terminal after the Phatboy design went out of style.

Most omega terminals from that era just raised the curved roof instead of the square part. This one looks quite comical.
