Yes, I would spend most if not all of that trip in Targhee and Big Sky. Those areas have some sun exposure issues too, but average ski terrain elevation is much higher and in particular most of the south facing at Big Sky is 2,500 feet higher than the comparable terrain at Jackson. Also the Moonlight side of Big Sky is nearly all north facing, likely retaining winter snow.Don't know about the drive, but late March is most likely a little too late in the season for the goods in Jackson.

Anecdotal comments about someone's random trip do not override the consistent effect of late March sun upon steep south facing terrain. I also stopped by Jackson and Targhee for a day on the way to a NASJA meeting in Big Sky in late March 2001. One day in Jackson was enough.
We’ve driven to Jackson then Big Sky with @Philpug @FairToMiddlin @JayT a few years ago
IIRC the drive was fine and we had great snow. It was during the same time of year that Your talking about
She can opine when you arrive whether its worth staying in Jackson vs. moving on.my daughter is on a trip there and would pick her up
Yes Thunder Wolf was slop on that late March trip, but Marx/Lenin/Dictators up high were winter snow the first 2 days, softened nicely the third day. On our last day we got a tour of the Yellowstone Club. It was overcast and we heard that the south side of Lone Peak was refrozen and closed. So I consider myself lucky with Big Sky on that trip.The stuff at Big Sky on the Thunder Wolf lift can get pretty soft and chunked up too.
