Vail Resorts - which are most crowded?

During President's Day weekend, I was keeping tab on lift wait times on Epic Mix.
I wasn't looking at all the resorts but, of the ones I was looking at, the crowd and lift wait seemed to rank as follows:

Breckenridge > Whistler > Beaver Creek > Vail > Park City > Keystone > Northstar.

My observation is based on just looking at the app several times, but does this seem about right in reality?
I understand that certain few lifts at each resort tend to get clogged up, but nonetheless I'm talking in general terms.
Where does Sun Valley rank? (they're not on Epic Mix)

Thinking about getting season pass this year.
Very much interested in finally trying Breckenridge, but the lines seem too long.
Always assumed Beaver Creek would be uncrowded, but I was surprised to see that half the lifts seemed to have >5min wait.
