Website indicated they still has a few trails open and were grooming them - maybe get in one more session this year. Well, the groomer had been over them, some sections were still nice, interspersed with mud/gravel and solid ice. Was able to get past the sketchy sections without taking off my skis. The Stadium - lower Broadhead loop was mostly good, so did that a couple times. There we a couple of tourers out and a couple of guys going fast, so thought I'd cut short and do something else.

Lot was just over half full. Had the chair to myself each trip up the mountain. Spring conditions - some icy and scritchy, some piles of corn snow. Still had a good time.
Almost all the vertical is on the chair lift - there are a couple of trails where there is a short uphill pitch that you can glide right up and over.

Mentally struggled through this, but got it done. Not much oomph. Glad I had on studded shoes - some bare ground, some packed snow, some mud and some ice.

Yay for daylight savings time!!
Haven't been to Chemung for a while, so decided to run the trails there. Was surprised by how much snow was still in the woods, but there's not a lot of south-facing open slopes. A few truly icy spots, as opposed to hard packed snow. Even with the temps into the 60s snow wasn't really soft along the boot-packed monorail. Adequate grip on the ice - combinationof warm temps softening it up and the wonders of Inov-8's miraculous graphene sole material (maybe).
