Got out for a XC ski after work. Super nice day! Much less windy. Snow a bit slower than yesterday but still fast. Glad I waxed the skis quickly last night. I still suck at going downhill in deep snow. Hope to hit High Point over the weekend for some groomed trails.
Going downhill in deep snow on xc skis is difficult because skis sink. If the snow is somewhat packed yet soft enough on top then step turns are possible, however once the hill gets really steep and it is not groomed then its all suck.
Another day at Watchung for me. Snow was better today, traffic helped pack trail and warmer temps made for a softer more steerable snow. Bonus having @woody with me

Cool. Give us a conditions report!
I'm not sure about the south slopes, they were getting slushy yesterday. The north facing should be good. Park at the Playground loop lot and look for tracks down toward the tree line at top of Lake.
Where are u coming from, up north? There are better places up north if that is the case. Mahlon, Tourne...
Otherwise here is the parking lot for the Playground Loop at Watchung.
