What is more important to me is how many runs you get with turns being made in untracked powder patches.
At Whistler on a typical powder morning you first have to line up and wait for a lift to open 30-60 minutes or longer while Patrol do avi work, then depending where you are in the line it could be another long wait while shuffling through the line. You then get 2 powder runs and then it is skiing cut up snow for the rest of the day. Locals might do better but it will likely involve hiking.
A couple weeks ago at Snowbird it was also 2 runs of untracked pow followed by cut up snow conditions, however both the piled up snow and scraped off patches were soft and skied beautifully all day.
Earlier this week I skied untracked powder turns all day long at Buttermilk on wide easy black diamond runs and no moguls
because there are not enough skiers on black runs at Buttermilk to create them.
A few seasons ago I did the same at Snowmass only the untracked only lasted until noon, 3 days in a row after 3 nightly snowfalls in a row, Fri.-Sun. after a lengthy dry spell.
I have skied ankle deep to boot top pow at Big Sky and been the only one on some of the runs. And encountered 6-12 skier lineups at the 6pack lift.
Both Big Sky and Aspen are the least crowded of the major US resorts and this positively addresses both lift lines, on slope crowds, and the number of powder turns per day.
