We were there March 16-17. It was stupid warm and ice was peeling from most routes. Snow was very soft and postholing was a drag. Hardly any snow left in Alpine Gardens. The guides didn't figure that Pinnacle would hold on for much later. O'Dells might be OK, but the postholing approach would suck. You might want to call Pinkhams Notch or IME before you drive down to check conditions.
