My answer for this was the northstar on presidents week. Biggest conglomeration of people near a lift I have seen. Haven't been since the bubble was installed but my friends were saying the lines made no sense.

15 Minutes. The hills around here are only busy during christmas/springbreak. The Chicago gapers come in by the bus-loads.

Yeah i usually go up at least once or twice a year and from last year to this year it actually got worse with the bubble... They stopped it 3 times when i was in line, waited for about 45 minutes even singles is about 20-30

Check out Revelstoke on a powder day. The gondola can take up to 45minutes to an hour for the first lift. Then you gotta wait another 30-40 minutes for the next chair.

for sure tremblant when both of the lifts on the south side (?) shut down for a 10 mins and only one opened back up that day. What ended up happening is everyone on that side of the mountain had to wait in a mass of people at the base to to get on the only slow moving lift to the top. probs 90 minutes

Keystone over spring break or Beaver Creek's chondola at Christmas time. The lines are long (not outrageous like Blue Sky Basin) but the lift stops every fucking minute.

My mountain is small and has shit lifts, I hike the park most of the time, but if I'm going to the top it's no wait ever, even when it's crowded.
