I asked the question a few weeks ago. I don't understand how there can be a storm of that magnitude, then closures of roads and areas, and still have people surprised or upset when there are huge lines when they get to the hill, no matter how many lifts are spinning. A few years ago I got caught in a line at N* after a storm. The lift didn't open on time BECAUSE THEY HAD TO DIG IT OUT! Big line, and @Philpug and I stood in it. I knew it was a possibility so my fault. Not the weather, not the management, not Epic. I imagine that whatever happened at Vail to contribute to those lines was not done on purpose so management could see what would happen.
