Timberline exp. was gray over black before it became green over gray any white was from paint fade and snowmaking grime.

....and even the grey was faded black.

Breck has started painting tan onto many of their existing lifts. Sometimes, it looks good but other times, it looks a bit outright weird, like how it was applied to the Rocky Mountain SuperChair this year:

I'm going to say I wasn't always fond of Keystone's lift paint jobs when the paint scheme was gray and beige. I love the dark green paint they used to replace the beige, however.

Kaatskill Flyer at Hunter Mountain is one of my favorites.

I must say, that's a nice one.
What I really like about the Poma's going up recently is the wooden underside of the terminal. Gives it a better look.

They changed the Sunbowl Express (former Northstar at Okemo) to wooden underside from whatever it was made of before. Looks ten times better as well:

I never noticed before, but the old paint scheme on Sunday River's Jordan Bowl Express looked like the flag of Estonia.

And here's the lift. The black is really the windows of the UNI terminal, of course.

When Canobie Lake Park in NH put in the "Untamed" roller coaster a few years ago, they painted the structure in a birch tree pattern, and painted the towers of the nearby "Sky Ride" chairlift to match. Thought that would work well at a ski area.

Yea. That's it! Paint the lift towers to look like trees then they wouldn't have to run off the trail to hit one! lol

Before they got repainted into their current colors, the Storm Peak Express and Sundown Express lifts also looked like they were painted with the Estonia flag. With red tops, they now look like something else.

Coincidence that the J.B.E is now red too?

On the Storm Peak Express and Sundown Express, the white paint became gray and the "stacks" on the terminals were painted red. Honestly, I think it's one of my favorite paint jobs to look at.
