Hey SRP,

If it were me, I'd take the OM-1N.  I don't really see the advantages of
the OM-2N in this situation, especially as you're not taking a flash and
you'll want to shoot in manual mode anyway. The reason I say shoot in
manual mode is that your snow is usually not a middle value and therefore
always needs to be compensated for, usually by opening up one or two stops,
depending on the amount of sunlight.

Have a bunch of fun and don't forget to bracket,

Joel
