Base lodges that take you back to the 70s or earlier as they probably have not seen a new coat of paint since then:

What comes to mind:

MRG (of course)

Gore (circa 1965)

Powder Mountain, UT (probably dunzo in a year or two with the new owners)

Pico (love the giant fireplace)

Spruce at Stowe (not!)

Barker Pub at Sunday River. They did renovate a bit last year if I remember but did a good job making feel like it hadn't changed. Parts of the Sugarloaf base lodge too. Governor Adams at Loon and Camp3 lodge.

Is white cap at Sunday River still painted that ugly shade of 60's-70's era green?

I remember that being one of the more dated lodges

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?
