I'm going to put this as nicely as possible. They have only broken 600 inches one year and that year was 2009. I skied that year. They got 554" this year so I doubt they had 625 in march.

If you can go in late feb or super early march. Late march can melt the snow.

late february or early march are usually good. Of course, you can have bad luck like I did and be there for the 5 days it doesn't snow.

Seriously? Every pic in your profile is your dumb ass doing a cheesy trick on a rail.  Also for the record us big boys call it POW, pow pow is some shit a baby would say.  I'm guessing you have no clue if EJ can ski POW.  Anyways, 2 guys ahead of me already said it EJ, Jan-Mar gets the best snow at Jackson, just watch those local weather reports around the time you leave.

if you watch his edit you will see that he has no clue how to ski powder.

and i beleave when someone called him out on it he said
"dude i can ski pow i have cr's"

so i guess if i buy a pair of powder skis i am automatically good at skiing powder.

I agree that Jan and Feb is better for quality of snow and the later you are you run the risk of melt/freeze cycle.  But IMO the month of march has more moisture in the air thus creating for ''bigger" dumps.

But you're right, splitting hairs.

I have seen his edit and I'm familiar with the 4FRNT CR conversation.  However even if he is the worst POW skier ever wouldn't it be great to get better at a resort like Jackson Hole?  Quit being a negative shitdick and bombing other people's threads with the manure you call a post.

jackson is a dangerous resort if you saw my first post i quoted the guy who know someone who died there.

i dont think it would be the best place for a kid to ski who isnt very experienced.
