Snowbasin, not me:lol:
Photo snatched off google.

Snowbasin is WAY overdone...more so than Deer Valley. It just seems so out of place.

Who takes pictures in a men's room? Isn't that against protocol?

Touche. I looked it up on Google.

Touche. I looked it up on Google.

Actually who looks up men's room pictures on the internet?

Cannon old/new Lodges

These type of resorts always seem to be my favorites. I love the places that are just ski areas and not much else.

:lol: I figured that MRG's urinal would be online and it was.

I always got a kick out of the "NO DIVING" sign above the urinal. I don't think it's there anymore.

It's still there, but the paint color's been updated.

Pretty scary lodge too

I came on here to say Hickory and Willard: Two lodges with open fireplaces in the center of the room (which I consider to be awesome in this overly litigious world), but I see they've already been mentioned.

I would like to say that Royal Mountain, NY has a retro lodge and a trough urinal, so MRG doesn't have a monopoly on seeing other dudes' schlongs.

My first thought when I stopped for lunch at the Mt. Ellen base lodge last year was "Wow, this place clearly hasn't changed a bit since the 60s.". My second thought was "And neither has the food." :-/

The Old Peabody (excuse me, "Notchview") lodge at Cannon has actually seen a fair bit of rearrangement in the years I've been skiing there, but still has the same feel. More so, I feel, than the Tramway lodges. New Peabody still feels like the generic low bidder state contract box it was in 1975 despite the addition of the Cannonball Pub and the better food.

The Sugarloaf lodge is completely different from how it was in 1977. The new lodge was more or less constructed over the old one (I remember seeing the new steel columns sticking out of the roof of the old lodge), which probably explains some of the more peculiar aspects of its layout.

The one or two times I've skied Waterville as an adult, the lodge seemed completely familiar from when we went there sometimes when I was a small child. The nursery was even in the same place. That was quite a few years ago; I've no idea what it's like now.

Northeast Slopes - brings the word "shack" to mind. It's loved and cared for. It's a place to warm up, get a hot cocoa and change your wet gear. That's about it.

I'm sure a lot of the community Maine areas will count as well.

Yeah, that's too bad. It was a pretty good private joke while it lasted...."no jumping"!

Norwich University ski area (NELSAP). Thats the main offices & ticket window you're looking at, the base lodge is on your right. Benches along the walls inside with a pot belly stove in the middle. Room for maybe a dozen. No services.

Can anyone guess?
