A tour around the Western Brook Gorge Corridor. Clouds brook in the AM, and the sun was in big effect most of the day. Light winds, and -10 at noon. Overall great coverage and travel in the alpine. Deep powder was on tap in features around treeline, that aren’t to exposed to wind. Ridgetops showed evidence of recent stronger winds, from the variety of directions. Out tests on S, and NE facing slopes , between 500 and 600 metres, Showed a couple weak layers in the upper 40cm, but no propagation in test. A couple small avalanches observed today, likely triggered from cornice failure in the last 24hrs. Amazing day to be in the back country.
