Condsiderations For Choosing Gear
An island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Newfoundland experiences a lot of active weather. We suggest packing a variety of layers to accommodate a range of conditions and temperatures.
In the winter, a wide range of weather can be experienced on any given day. Quality winter gear will help keep winter's bite away as temperatures can drop well below average values.

Temperatures can drop significantly below -10ºC at higher elevations.It is important for all guests' safety to understand and mitigate the risks and dangers of avalanche conditions.
