Deciding....
The pc crowds have become nuts...
Tired of waiting on the gondi line for an hour before loading..

The OBX line is always shorter, dont ever wait in that gondi line (though the OBX line is still gonna be 30 to close to 40 minutes).

But yes, the crowds have been nuts this year. Last year there really were no crowds. My belief is it's the confluence of two things:
1) No snow - so when it finally snowed everyone showed to finally get in their days. December & January were not crowded.
2) Strike aftermath - everyone who cancelled their January Park City trip rebooked for Park City in February, so the crowds are piling up instead of dispersed.

Next years Epic Pass Pricing was released a little while ago. Didn't bother to compare pricing vs last year. On the surface it looks very similar to last year with the general structure, the blackout windows for restricted passes and other benefits
