We walked into the bowl this morning. Access from the parking lot is no longer skiable. Once into the bottom of the bowl, still good overall coverage that should hold up for sometime yet. Icy/crusty surface conditions had us wearing crampons while ascending the east shoulder. 2-4 cm of new snow sitting on surface with no signs of wind effect, and good bonding to the crust below. Was snowing when we left just after noon, light winds from the east. no avalanche problems up there today. Great to see the bowl should provide some good spring skiing!!!

Moderate skiing from parking lot to bottom of bowl, some icy sections but easy to get around.
Wind affected from bottom of bowl, bit of new wind slab snow on top of dense base.
Did multiple CT and ECT tests, results varied easy to moderate on the CT tests and no results on ECT.
Wind picked up at top of bowl around 2:00pm and was strong.
Skied down a 30 degree slope and no consequence.
Tracks were completely covered after about an hour of digging pit.

SW Gulch
A great day to be moving around the SW Gulch area. The access trail is still in great condition. Despite strong solar effects today, the snow stayed loose and dry at higher elevations. 10-20 cm of powder in wind protected areas like Picatenirife glades, sitting on a thick widespread crust. Bonding at this new snow/crust interface seem to be excellent everywhere we looked today. No new avalanches obsevered, but we did note strong W winds at rigdgetop and snow being transported and loaded into E, NE, N aspects.

10cm+ of new snow well bonded to wet crust. New snow was cold and dry in the AM but warmed on solar aspects through the day and became wet. Some areas dried out as the temp dropped later in the day. Good supportive riding. Easy travel on skins. Some open brooks.

Great travel into the Lewis Hills from Corner Brook. Trails were in superb condition. Once in the hills, flat light and more hazard(rock, holes) kept us from venturing to far in, but we found good stability and no avalanche problems to note. New snow sitting on the crust from last weeks rain or exposed crust was the story up high. Good bonding b/t new snow and this crust. Best sledding conditions found in protected areas from the wind.

Looked like 20ish new cents had fallen over the previous two days, creamy fluff on a supportive crust, crusty and wind-concrete in some exposed places (south west and north east slopes). Lots of wind deposited snow and crazy wind affect on the north facing side of the knob. Great mellow skiing.

East side KD was very low tide. Many exposed stumps and blowdowns. Maybe some ok turns inside but getting in and out not worth it. Snow conditions were wet pow on a wet, not quite frozen crust. Still some large cornice over east aspect, no sign of avalanche activity, but the light was poor and hard to see the alpine.

The snow pack in the Tablelands has taken a significant blow. Strong warm winds and rain have a lot of water moving, and have exposed more ground at lower elevations and windward slopes. We saw a couple new slab avalanches on north facing alpine slopes. Expect wet surface snow conditions at all elevations as the day progresses.

A morning of rescue practice around “The Knob”. Currently great coverage and what looked to be good skiing. Around 11pm the snow turned to freezing rain which quicky formed a catchy surface crust. We found all of our transceivers, but lost our minds to the intricacies of complex rescue scenarios.Time well spent.

10 Mile Trees
Great day in back of 10 Mile Pond w/ Andy & Steve. My first time in there. Outstanding conditions! The crust layer is well buried now and not solid, could carve into it. With about 20-40cm of new snow that either fell overnight (with no wind) or has blown in the last few days. Made for some of the best turns of the year.
The day was both cool and warm, with a few short sunny periods that risked quickly changing the snow quality, especially at the top of the run where the trees stop. These sunny breaks were short lived and ultimately didn't have a major effect on where we were riding.

Upper Ten Mile
Great travel through Ten Mile Fiord to the upper valley today. 15-20 cm of new low density snow has been distributed around upper elevations by recent West winds. Wind exposed areas are striped of new snow exposing a crust from recent warm weather, while East facing lee features have been heavily loaded. At higher elevation was more snow, and protected areas held fantastic riding conditions. We noted a few Size 1 slab avalanches on S-SE aspects that looked fresh from this morning, but found good stability riding areas not affected by wind.

Ptarmigan Pass
10-20 cm of wind transported snow over a supportive crust. Ski conditions were fantastic after the depressing fain event of Feb 28. We saw two recent Size 1 avalanches that appeared to be triggered by cornice breaks. New cornices are quickly developing on lee slopes. Slopes below 400 meters were not as pleasant to ski with a nasty collapsing crust.

A fine day around the north side of Blue Mountain. Great snow and riding conditions in wind protected areas(meadows, trees), not so much on the upper north facing slopes due to strong west winds in the afternoon striping exposed terrain and cross loading gully features. We saw a couple natural size one slab avalanches out of these cross loaded gullies during the day.

Good travel in today via Mckenies Rd. Poor visibility from a low cloud cover kept us out of the hills proper and looking for observations in the foot hills. Temps hovering around 0 overnight and today made for moist surface conditions. 10-20 cm of new snow since yesterday with evidence that it came with strong southerly winds yesterday. Snow becoming deeper and more supportive in the woods.

Hall Pass
Originally planned for an objective on the south facing side of Ten Mile, but the sun was packing a punch and created damp surface conditions. This, added to the fact that there was 20cm new snow from overnight, caused us to adjust our objective and ski Hall Pass on the north facing side. This proved to be the right call as we listened to, and watched multiple avalanches tumble down the sunny slopes across the fjord. Not only did our choice keep us out of harms way, but we were also treated to an incredible run of deep, stable, blower powder!!
Of note is the fact that the two crux sections of the run are not as full as other seasons, resulting in two mandatory drops over frozen waterfalls. The drops are small and the snow is deep (currently) so shouldn’t pose too much problem, but be prepared to get sporty!

Difficult surface conditions made for poor skiing in the bowl today. A freezing rain crust from the parking lot to ridge top is present with many surface irregularities and sastrugi, making for a pretty crusty outing. Good overall coverage in this area with a much more mature snowpack than a few weeks ago. No new avalanches observed.

Ten Mile
Hopes on getting to the upper Valley, but stopped due to difficult trail breaking conditions above the “Steady”, around 500 m. The trail is in good condition to the high point, with deeper snow as elevation is gained in the valley. Was very weary to get off the trail as there are still stumps and rocks very present in the low density snow. Within the valley we found 20 to 25 cm of new snow sitting on more supportive snow below. An even distribution of new snow with little wind effect, makes for what looks like fantastic skiing. No avalanche problems noted today, and no avalanches in this valley observed.

Burridges Gulch
Loads of snow in Burridges now! 165cm where we changed over about 2/3 of the way up the glade. 100cm in open meadows at the bottom. The fluffy snow from the storm is already settling and quite dense but great riding.
Worth noting, there was a significant crust layer on top caused by some freezing rain for the first half of the skin in - especially in open spaces. Once we crossed the river and into the gulch it was gone, but if other nearby areas had the same isolated freezing rain last night, it would make for poor riding. We were skeptical on the way in but snow quality improved dramatically.

Burdiges glade
Glades had some goods, weird crust from either fog or some freezing rain in open areas, but the further in the gorge/in the trees we got, the better the powder was; didn't go up but suspected alpine and exposed areas would get pretty crusty.
Didn't dig a pit, but probe depth of 160cm midway up glade. Probe showed layers at 65cm, 85cm, and 135cm.

Japan trees
After being hammered for several days with very high westerly and south west winds the trees held the snow.
A mixture of supportive powder in trees and wind affected concrete and styrofoam in the open. We rode the trees on lookers left and avoided main chute.
Pit depth of about 170cm at the lower midsection of main chute, 35-40 degree slope. Hard packed 10-15cm layer at top, softer 10cm layer below. Alternating to hard and then soft again about 50cm down. 3 main weak points of about 30-40cm slabs at 45cm, 80cm and 120cm.
Pat test caused cracks about 15cm from top after 2nd pat from elbow. More cracks at 5th about 40cm down.
A lazy rutschblock test caused a slab 40cm down to give way at 1st jump.

East facing slopes in the SW Gulch have seen a recent avalanche cycle, likely over the last 48 hours. Cornice triggered. Alpine start zones heavily loaded, dense winds slabs in all wind affected areas. We had the guilty pleasure of witnessing an avalanche today.
Softer Snow found in sheltered areas, but the overall snow pack is much denser than it has been in previous weeks. We saw a large party in the Japan Trees area, Awesome to see them digging pits and carrying the avalanche essentials. Access trail conditions were good. iI was a calm and sunny beautiful day to be in the hills.

Bitterly cold and crazy wind coming up the gulch from south-south west.
Pit depth of 130cm on lookers right a few feet from the trees about 3/4 way up small chute.
10-15cm wind blown pow; hard slab below, pretty supportive with weak points at 20cm/60cm down. Cracks at 2nd pat from elbow 30 and 40cm down, shooting crack at 2nd hard strike from arm at 60cm.
We road the pocket of "powder" on lookers right avoiding lookers left and more convex and windloaded aspect with small cornice.
Riding wasn't good, lots of strips of concrete and flat light. One and done to go back to cabin for soup and wait out the wind.

Shut down just before the North Arm hills due to poor visibility. We approached via Mckenzie Rd, 20-30 cm new snow, had not been groomed. Strong NW winds with a lot of new snow on the move in open country. Chose to retreat to friendly meadows and smaller ponds. 1m+ of snow in the woods, settleing well with a bit more of a supportive/protective base then last week. Ponds had slob on them, but great conditions for a little quality powder play.
McKenzie’s had had one pass of the groomer when we came out.
