Regions

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

Monday's storm may bring up to 30 cm of new snow. If this plays out, expect dangerous avalanche conditions.

Take a conservative approach and be on the lookout for signs of instability.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain about forecast snowfall amounts.

Avalanche Summary

There have been no recent avalanches observed or reported.

We expect avalanche danger to increase on Monday with the arrival of new snow and wind. This new snow is expected to bond poorly to the surface below, creating dangerous avalanche conditions.

If you head out, let us know what you are seeing by submitting a MIN report!

Snowpack Summary

New snow begins to accumulate on Sunday evening, with up to 30 cm of accumulation by Tuesday morning. This new snow is sitting on a crust, and in wind-sheltered areas, surface hoar may be found on the crust.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally strong.

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

Weather Summary

Saturday Night

Partly cloudy. 10 km/h north ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -9 °C.

Sunday

Mix of sun and clouds. 10 km/h northeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -8 °C.

Monday

Cloudy. 2 to 20 cm of snow at treeline. 50 to 80 km/h northeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Tuesday

Cloudy. 2 to 10 mm of precipitation as snow or rain at treeline. 50 to 80 km/h northeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Dial back your terrain choices if you are seeing more than 20 cm of new snow.
  • Avoid freshly wind-loaded terrain features.
  • Use ridges or ribs to avoid areas of wind-loaded snow.
  • Avoid terrain traps such as gullies and cliffs where the consequence of any avalanche could be serious.
  • Make conservative terrain choices and avoid overhead hazard.

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.
