Regions

Long Range Mountains, Corner Brook, Gros Morne, Northern Peninsula.

Avalanche danger is decreasing, but human-triggered avalanches remain possible.

Ensure you carry the essential rescue gear and have the training to use it.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain about alpine conditions due to limited field observations.
  • We are uncertain due to the variability of wind effect on the snowpack.

Avalanche Summary

There have been no recent avalanches observed or reported.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 20 cm of accumulated new snow came in warm and is likely bonding to the old crust.

A mid snowpack rain crust can be found down between 60 to 80 cm, but at this time it is not a concern.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally well settled, dense and strong.

In the alpine, the height of snow varies from 200 to 300 cm.

Weather Summary

Unsettled dirty weather will continue, with light to moderate winds and occasional flurries. Beginning late Wednesday, a strengthening weather front off the east coast will bring moderate snowfall and increasing north winds to the forecast region.

Saturday Night
Mostly cloudy. 1 to 4 cm of snow. 20 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.

Sunday
Cloudy. 1 to 2 cm of snow. 50 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C. Freezing level 0 m.

Monday
Mix of sun and clouds. 1 cm of snow. 30 km/h east ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Tuesday
Mix of sun and clouds. 1 to 2 cm of snow. 10 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -7 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Seek out wind sheltered terrain below treeline where you can avoid wind slabs and find great riding.
  • Avoid freshly wind-loaded terrain features.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.

Problems

Wind Slabs

Wind Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer of snow (a slab) formed by the wind. Wind typically transports snow from the upwind sides of terrain features and deposits snow on the downwind side. Wind slabs are often smooth and rounded and sometimes sound hollow, and can range from soft to hard. Wind slabs that form over a persistent weak layer (surface hoar, depth hoar, or near-surface facets) may be termed Persistent Slabs or may develop into Persistent Slabs.

Cornices

Cornice Fall is the release of an overhanging mass of snow that forms as the wind moves snow over a sharp terrain feature, such as a ridge, and deposits snow on the downwind (leeward) side. Cornices range in size from small wind drifts of soft snow to large overhangs of hard snow that are 30 feet (10 meters) or taller. They can break off the terrain suddenly and pull back onto the ridge top and catch people by surprise even on the flat ground above the slope. Even small cornices can have enough mass to be destructive and deadly. Cornice Fall can entrain loose surface snow or trigger slab avalanches.
