well there is no way to know now what conditions will be like in spring, but anywhere really in Utah, or here in Colorado should be good. Mammoth too

not sure when your spring break is, but i go every year around the second week of March and it's usually pretty legit. last year sucked, of course, but other than that it's usually allll good.

Higher elevations in Colorado get a lot of snow ususally in March. The lower you go, the more likely you will have protential for less fresh snow.

You are correct, plus you can get a spring pass for dirt cheap. My brother and I went there for spring break a couple years back.

Some of the best days of my life have been skiing Big Sky under blue skies in spring.

Yeah those are both great resorts. Don't go to Colorado unless you want to spend your break waiting in lift lines

In the same boat as you, we are going to go theweek before spring break to avoid possible lift lines. Our list so far is either UT, Big Sky, or Jackson Hole... Have no clue which is better

The bad days at j hole are very few and far between. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you make a stop there and maybe spend a day at targhee

Have never really looked into jackson but would it be okay to ski it for 4-5 days (out of the 7 we will be there)?

eah i think you'll be fine as long as you're willing to explore the mountain. And again if you get bored you can always head over to the ghee where the snow is pretty much always deep. But you should have plenty to do at Jackson i think

nah, wcs looked nice but it always rains here in the spring. the temps just get two warm for snow. look into co or maybe a place like mammoth for some quality spring riding.

Wait a few months and see what resorts have the best snow. But if you need to make a decision now, Utah is a good bet because there are like 10 resorts within an hour of the airport and all of the resorts are pretty awesome.
All times are Eastern (-4)
