My sample size is tiny, I admit, but I've been to the Aspen area on a number of trips all in prime time (February and March). No lift lines...ever...and runs all to yourself. Here I am on the Big Burn at Snowmass during Spring Break last year.

Compared to this picture I took at the lift line to get on the Zephyr Express at Winter Park (admittedly, on December 27th):
I have yet to find a better combination of ski terrain, weather/snow conditions, and crowds than the Aspen resorts.
