Avalanche Canada Warning of Dangerous Conditions on Steep Hills

Avalanche Canada is warning that there could be dangerous conditions on steep hills where people might be used to safe tobogganing.

Residents of southeastern Newfoundland that received heavy snow are advised that dangerous conditions are present.

An avalanche is an event that occurs when a cohesive slab of snow lying upon a weaker layer of snow fractures and slides down a steep slope.

Be mindful of your surroundings.
