More crowds on Saturdays or Sundays?

I hate generalizations, but I'm game. If it's a destination resort, in general, in the northeast, people begin bailing out after lunchtime on Sunday. Get there early on Sunday AM, expect the crush from about ~930 to 1pm. There are many exceptions to this, depends on the resort.
I would also be very careful to checkout what activities or promotions are happening on the mt. that day. that can limit things too.

Overall, unless vacation weekend or events/weather dictate otherwise, generally Saturdays are busier than Sundays from my experience.

Saturdays for sure..especially because some people go to church on Sunday or get errands completed before the next workweek.
90% of the time, Saturdays, definitely
edited to add, in addition to the things steeze listed, plenty of people go to the mountains to party, not ski. There is certainly a hangover fall out factor on Sundays more so than Saturdays for sure.

If the weather and conditions are the same on both days, Sunday will usually have less people than Saturday.
At Killington last weekend, it was flipped. Saturday was pretty chilly. It was the start of a holiday week. The people were more visible on Sunday where they were in the base lodges or in the beginner areas at Snowshed and Rams Head on Saturday. On Sunday afternoon, it was brutal coming out of the Snowdon trees on Patsys and Low Rider. It was wall to wall tourons on the connecting trail.

Saturdays usually more crowded here at Belleayre, but also "flipped" this weekend.

At the destinations - Saturday's way busier. By noon on Sunday the mass exodus begins back down.

I am constantly amazed at how many skiers dislike the cold.
