March in Jackson Hole is the perfect mix of “responsible cultural enrichment” and “someone is absolutely going to send it too hard.” One minute you’re paint-and-sipping at Snake River Brewing like a refined adult, the next you’re watching banked slalom chaos, freeride qualifiers, and a 50th annual snowmobile hill climb that screams good decisions were not invited.
Add in free music under the Tram (lol at “free”), comedy, stargazing, St. Paddy’s festivities, a suspiciously duplicated event listing (copy/paste kings, we see you), and Rendezvous Music Fest to close it out… and congrats, your calendar is full, and your wallet is terrified.
