Why not san juans? Red mountain pass/ silverton has the best backcountry in co and there anrent many people skiing it.

Try skiing around Lake City (bristol head), Creede, Southern San Juans, or the Weminuche Wilderness area. THAT is fantastic terrain with even LESS people (if any at all) than Silverton/Ouray

You could always ski Berthed pass and get rides all day.

BC is always free.  Just be prepared, take classes, etc. Your only as safe as the least knowleagable person in your group about avalanche danger.
