Bear lodge, Elkview and Arrowhead are all the same owners.
Fuel and the Polaris shop are at Bear, so that make staying there the most convenient.

As for snow, it will depend on where the big spring dumps happen.
Just got back from Bear. They have a good base, so if they get a good dump they will have great riding.

I have heard from many people the snows better on the south end this year. www.lodgesofthebighorns.com Check out deer haven less people make the riding great!!!!!!

For better riding area ( hills, open meadows, ect.) the north end definetly has the advantage there is a lot more places to ride. As for the snow, i know the south end just got a fresh foot on sunday, but if it is to stay that way it needs to snow some more. I am not sure about the snow on the north end, i havent been up there in quite a while but i would expect the same. The north end seems to get more wind than the south end and makes some of the open really hard. If you go to the south i reccommend Deer Haven Lodge, stayed there about a month ago on a trip from bear to deer haven and had a great time. On the north side i would reccommend bear lodge as well, they have about everything that you will need. Hopefully this weekend i can get up to one side and ride and let you know how the snow is!
