Narrative:
While on vector to jackson hole airport (jac) we encountered a pocket of turbulence that caused our aircraft to descend 300 ft from our assigned altitude of 14000 ft. It should be noted that other aircraft in the area at the same altitudes were also reporting these conditions. We corrected the situation within 10 seconds and leveled off at our assigned altitude of 14000 ft and notified ZLC.
