we ended up at boulder on Sat. We had the whole mountain to ourselves. It didn't even get crowded after lunch. NO lift lines whatsoever, great day. My son used his poles for the first time and did really well. He likes to go down Tananbaum over and over but I convinced him to try Upper Sizmarck since its only half a black then spits out into a green. He liked it but now will only do those 2 trails. Hopefully Christmas week I can convince him to try some others.
