Chic-Choc Mountains

Snow cover is generally below the avalanche threshold, or crusted. Winter is slow to set in on the Chic-Chocs.

Enjoy the holiday season!

Early season, observations are limited. Thanks for sharing your observation through the Mountain Information Network if you head out.

No new avalanches have been observed or reported. Please share your observations at [email protected] or via the Mountain Information Network.

Minimal, crusty snow everywhere in the mountains. The snowpack varies in height from 0 to 35 cm at mid-mountain. At and below treeline, many areas are now uncovered, and there is no longer enough snow to produce avalanches at these elevations. In the alpine, isolated depressions and concavities retain a certain amount of snow.
