Black Mountain is the closest and is rarely ever crowded. It's a smaller mountain though, so if that's not what you're looking for, any of the other mountains in the area (Cranmore/Atitash/Wildcat) will be crowded similarly. My personal favorite is Sunday River in Maine. It's big and spread out so it handles the crowds well.

Next trip up here, Sunday River is the move. I’ve got an ikon too so wouldn’t need a tix.

It's the best bang for your buck in my opinion!

Got there at 12:25 for a half day starting at 12:30. Parking spot right by the ticket window was there waiting for me.
