Summit County areas can be quite crowded on the weekends. In general, I find Copper somewhat less busy. If you are willing to do some driving, you may find Beaver Creek a bit better also.
As an example, a few weeks ago I was at Winter Park. I skied on Friday and Saturday. On Friday, I skied more runs and more vertical but spent less time at the ski area on Friday than on Saturday, where I saw 15 minute lift lines at Panoramic.
I find that the crowds peak from 10 AM - noon, and then drop off, so I try to start at opening (8:30 most places on weekends), take an early lunch, and then continue after lunch.
I will see you at camp.
