Yep, to close to the ocean and the fresh snow is heavy. Inland a few hundred miles and it gets dry and light.

And if for some reason the conditions aren't great at Jackson, there is a small resort on the other side of the range --Grand Targee-- which often has drier, deeper powder snow.
Winter Day light hours can be short....obviously the further north you go the shorter the day light. --Sorry a boat that Canada.
We have year-round skiing in Oregon State at Timberline. --Summer skiing can be fun and very different. The snow is old in the summer, but skiing in shorts is fun. ...Some women ski in bikinis. (warning, the summer glacial snow is course and abrasive - don't fall on to exposed skin)
