Was quite bumped when I last laid eyes on it Monday. The wind velocity + direction the last couple of days will likely have it somewhere between phenomenal (where the wind blew stuff in) to bulletproof in the higher, more exposed areas

If I were skiing this Saturday it would be there or Magic. Think I'm going to take it off to set up an epic three-day next weekend however. We will get this next storm..................................
Like doc said, Olympic maybe shaky the first little bit (as they all are on TNF) but I have to believe it will still be nice. Jaws and Challenger should still be pretty good Saturday. They held a lot of snow and weren't seeing a lot of traffic on Wednesday. Fallen Timbers was seeing the most traffic and was nicely bumped also. Bear Trap had some decent bumps on skiers right that may soften up real nice if it's sunny Saturday.
Not guaranteeing anything because things change quickly in them hills, plus I personally know I could spend half the day in the woods and have a great time if the bumps weren't doing it for me, that is why I would chose Mt. Snow Saturday. Fantastics, Sap Tapper, and the Trials will be fun Saturday, I can pretty much guarantee that...................

I skied the upper bit of Olympic on Weds before going off into the woods...it was a bit bony, but really fun! Saturday that upper part will be more scraped off, but as others have said, the bottom 2/3 will be great.

Today's wind hold issues they're having at Mount Snow likely won;t help the top of Olympic 
But once you get down around the 1st bend where it gets more sheltered from the NW winds, it should be blown in pretty nice there - just might have the be a little carefull around the top of the last pitch on skiers/riders left where it's a bit more wind exposed.
I'm thinking that the wind, should really load up the woods, especially on the main face! I'm already mentally prepping myself to having to tackle a pretty good sized drift in the walkway to my place this evening, as it really gets wind loaded with the prevailing NW-erlies
