Hey guys I just had a quick question, Im going to Jackson Hole this March and with the great snow they got this season I wanted to know which ski's to lug out there? I have a pair of Bent Chetlers and Also a pair of K2 Marksmans, I wanted to know if I should bother lugging the chetlers out there, or will the marksman be enough for march skiing? I will be skiing at Jackson Hole and Grand Targhee, thanks for the input

Totally depends on the weather...chances are you'll be skiing spring conditions, but they could get a storm.

I would take both.. Never know. And I think Bentchetlers are super fun to rip around on even without deep snow

Agreed, especially with my 2015 chetlers and the horizon tech.

Bring just the marksmens. Plenty of ski for JH. I skied 4 seasons on a set of 112mm hojis and never wantes more ski.

When in March? If it is early March, then there is a good chance it won't be super warm yet, but if its late March then its probably getting slushy, and the Marksmans would be fun for that.

I would just bring the marksmans. Ill be there the 2nd week of March and I might even consider bringing my Chronics over my Jeffreys if there isn't gonna be a storm or no new snow. There is some pretty technical stuff that skis a lot better when you have something a little more nimble.

I would just monitor the snow conditions before hand.

Why are you asking now? Make the decision ~24hrs beforehand after checking the forecast.
