Yea, that's right. It wasn't built until the late 80's, but IMHO it looks like the color scheme you'd see from that era. Definitely dated.

Are you looking for lodges that are just non-modern, or also in disrepair? I interpreted "have not seen a new coat of paint <in a long time>" in the OP to mean disrepair.
Personally I like very old lodges that are well maintained. The lodges at Mansfield and A-basin are two that stand out to me.

A-Basin just redid their lodge this year. Well at least the 6th Alley Bar, which for most of their clients is the only part that matters

I've never researched when Plattekill was built, but that place teleports you back to the 1950s or 1960s (I'm assuming or course, given I wasnt born). It's not just the lodge, it's the fact that you practically park on top of the ski lifts.

Totally forgot about that, and I was even there in April. The new bar is nice but I miss the big ass old round tables and lounge chairs.

It was repainted 2 years ago or so. Looks better now but still a bit of a lost base lodge.

Of the one's mentioned, I like Suicide Six, MRG, and Arapahoe Basin for old lodges that are quite well kept and nice, rather than tired.
I hate to say it, but there are more time warp lodges than not:razz:
Did anyone mention Hunter Mtn yet?
Old school Hall of Fame inside the huge Hunter base lodge:
Bathrooms are still from the 60's! Yet to be updated except for the hand dryers...

Gunstock is the real deal. Love the stone. I never liked the Cannon lodge on Peabody side. I know it's changed a lot for the better.

Oh, Im surprised no one's mentioned the Stateside & Tramside lodges at Jay prior to their respective teardown and general build-up.
Surprised no one has mentioned Pat's Peak base lodge. That might be my favorite base lodge in all of New England.
