A sunny cold day in the high alpine of Gros Morne. Less new snow in this area then more to the south in our region. still full winter conditions up high with good travel and soft snow to be found in lee features. We observed one recent cornice triggered slab avalanche that we estimated to be 24 to 48 hours old, east facing slope. Our tests today indicated a stable upper snow pack with no notable results. We also noted good bonding between the prominent widespread mid march rain crust, and the snow above. With this, we still decided to stay away from bigger steeper slopes, with possible lingering wind slab being the question.
