Jackson Hole in March?

Me and a few pals are planning a trip here for March 14-19. Historically, would it be reasonable to expect a good amount of snow during this time, or is it a bit late?

These are the only days our spring breaks overlap, so it seems like the logical choice assuming its still cold enough.

Nice. Also, we'll have 4 days to ski, and assuming that there is good snow everywhere, are there any other resorts nearby besides JH that we should check out? I'm pretty sure we'll be basing our trip out of the Hostel X in the village.

None of us have ever been to the area before, only SLC resorts, so any tips would be much appreciated.

maybe targhee, you shouldnt get bored with jackson in 4 days though. you caould go to snow king, the small resort in town because it is cheaper and not nearly as crowded. it is fun but small.

At that time of the year it could be icy, slushy, or nipple deep.  No matter what the conditions are Jackson is a really fun mountain to ride so you shouldn't get bored in 4 days.  If you do, tell me where you usually ski so I can go there!

Sounds like that could be fun, anyone ever been? And during the spring break season, would the scene be better in Teton Village or in Jackson itself? Not quite sure yet where we want to stay.

By the way this is the 8000th post in this forum, and I just wasted it.
