Long Range Mountains, Corner Brook, Gros Morne, Northern Peninsula.
Avalanche danger is low due to a crust that will also make for firm, but manageable riding conditions.
Winter can still be found where you can access the hills. Enjoy the sun:)
No new avalanches have been reported.
If you are getting out in the hills, consider making a post on the MIN (Mountain Information Network). You can share riding conditions, avalanche or snowpack observations, or even just a photo or two.
Approaches to mountain terrain are getting thin, but are still passable at the moment.
High north and east facing terrain holds enough snow to ride in (around 120 cm in deep areas). The surface is a strong and thick crust left behind by recent rain and warm temperatures. There is enough give to the crust for some traction to be found.
5 to 15 cm of snow that fell on Thursday was blown by northeast wind onto slopes that don't have enough snow to ride in.
See photos below from our field team's trip to North Arm Hills on Friday.
