There is still fantastic snow coverage in the Alpine areas (Tableland Mountains,
Blow me Down Mountains, and Lewis Hills) but access the alpine is getting to be more and more challenging. For those looking to get in one last session of snow kiting for this winter 2010 season, be sure to check out the Tableland Mountains in
Gros Morne National Park. The tableland mountains offer parking at the base of the mountain, and walking up takes 1 - 2 hours depending on your group and how much you want to sweat. One at the plateau, the snow kiting is dreamy and defiantly worth the effort. You can still ski down almost all the way to the parking lot on a ribbon of snow, but the coverage at the top is limitless.
In late spring, this is what the Tableland Mountains Plateau looks like. As a World UNESCO Site, the Tableland Mountains Plateau is a sought after
Canadian snow kiting destination. The Tablelands Plateau in Gros Morne National Park is closed to snowmobile traffic, which means it us just you, your kite, and the caribou.
April is a great time to get outside in Newfoundland and enjoy the spring snow. The snowpack in the alpine lasts long into the spring and early summer, so for those keen to get in "one last session", the Tableland Mountains are for sure the easiest access point.
