BULLETIN VALID UNTIL JANUARY 6th, 2025

Due to poor snow conditions in the mountains and the weather forecast for the weekend, the next bulletin will be issued on Monday evening, January 6.

We're keeping a close eye on the passage of a low-pressure system over Newfoundland expected between Sunday evening and Monday, which could give us a pleasant surprise. 🤞 If the storm proves generous and you're planning a mountain outing on Monday, be vigilant: avalanche hazards could be present. A careful assessment will be essential.

Avalanche Summary

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

Snowpack Summary

On Friday, we received 5 to 10 cm of fresh snow, covering a layer of snow already altered by the rain and thaws of December and the beginning of the year, or, in places, lying directly on the ground. At mid-mountain, the depth of the snow cover varies between 30 and 45 cm, depending on the sector.

The snowpack is typical of early-season conditions. Expect minimal snow coverage, with rocks, trees, and stumps barely buried beneath the surface.

Weather Summary

Following the 5-10 cm of snow that fell on Friday morning, light showers will continue until Saturday morning, adding a further 2-4 cm. A low-pressure system will maintain a cold, cloudy flow until midday Sunday, with temperatures around -12°C on Saturday and -16°C at night. Fingers are crossed for the arrival of a low-pressure system east of Newfoundland, which could bring 15-25 cm of snow between Sunday afternoon and Monday evening.

We invite you to consult the public weather resources recommended when preparing for a mountain outing and available here, as well as our alpine weather forecast.
