Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported since last weekend.

Snowpack Summary

The top 20 cm of the snowpack is soft and unconsolidated. The exception may be in Gros Morne, where a thin rain crust with surface hoar above could be present on the surface.  This overlies a simple and generally right-side-up snowpack.

Soft snow may be redistributed into deeper and stiffer deposits on southerly aspects as winds pick up early in the morning on Saturday.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Pay attention to the wind; once it starts to blow, sensitive wind slabs are likely to form.
  • Wind slabs are most reactive during their formation.
