Avalanche Summary
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 bulletin@avalanchequebec.ca or via the Mountain Information Network.
Snowpack Summary
The snowpack remains thin, varying from 50 to 80 cm. 10 to 25 cm of snow covers the November 28 crust. The crust is present on all aspects and elevations, but becomes more brittle as we gain altitude. The summits are exposed to rock or crust. We have few observations in the Alps. Maximum-load zones, depressions and concavities may feature a thicker snowpack.
