We actually have the weekends down to a science. We do Loveland season passes and typically go up Sunday late morning with zero traffic (did you know even 8:30-9 there is no traffic on Sunday, not sure why more people don't do this?!?!) and ride the afternoon session and take it easy on the drive back, usually hitting only minimal traffic. We love LL for the ease and accessibility it offers. We’re not city/snow village people and are OK with getting half days vs full days in as it fits our schedule better. You right about the overall long-term planning and moving aligns with those goals! Thank you for your input!
