This week's MIN of the Week is from Newfoundland! It's a great example of how simple reports can be super effective and it was a window into an area where data can be sparse. We have a little something from The North Face for the winner! bit.ly/MINwinner8Apr25

It really doesn't take much sun to start destabilizing the snowpack, especially when we have new snow and a persistent slab problem! Whenever the sun starts to peek out, even if it's just in short bursts, it's safest to assume it's affecting the snow 📷 file photo

Storm snow is making for touchy avalanche conditions in many of our forecast regions tomorrow. New snow is likely to be primed for human triggering and it's still possible for avalanches to step down to deeper weak layers. 📷 Columbia region from the MIN, bit.ly/MIN12Mar25post
