Regions

Chic-Choc Mountains.

Ski quality has been greatly affected by the heat of the last few days. An alternative activity such as crampon walking or fatbike riding could be a good idea to take advantage of the sunshine and relatively mild temperatures over the next few days.

Confidence

High

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches reported or observed.

If you go into the backcountry, thanks for sharing your observations on the Mountain Information Network (MIN).

Snowpack Summary

There is a generalized temperature crust at all elevations and on all slopes. The rest of the snowpack consists of a superposition of facets and crusts.

Last week's strong to extreme winds had a major impact on the alpine and treeline. The southern and western slopes are largely free of snow.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • A crust on the surface will help bind the snow together, but may make for tough travel conditions.
