## Making a busy week feel easy

- **Ski early, lunch early**: First chair and lunch before noon miss the worst of the lines.
- **Choose the mountain for the day**: Snowmass absorbs crowds best; Buttermilk suits the youngest skiers. [The four mountains](https://aspenprive.com/aspen-four-mountains-which-one/).
- **Or come a week later**: Early March has the same snow with fewer families, and late March is quieter still outside Easter week. [Best time to visit](https://aspenprive.com/best-time-to-visit-aspen/).
