Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches reported or observed.

If you are heading into the backcountry, please share your observations on the Mountain Information Network (MIN).

Snowpack Summary

Between 10 and 15 cm of new snow covers a thin melt-freeze crust. Beneath this crust, a 15-30 cm layer of light snow covers another thick, solid melt-freeze crust dating from March 21. The middle of the snowpack is made up of a superposition of well-consolidated snow and melt-freeze crusts.

At higher altitudes, the eastern and southeastern slopes enjoy better snow cover, while the southern, western and northern slopes are rather bare.

At mid-mountain, snow depth varies between 60 and 180 cm.

Weather Summary

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Wind slabs are most reactive during their formation.
  • Closely monitor how the new snow is bonding to the crust.

Avalanche Problems

Wind Slabs

The new snow rests on a melt-freeze crust, offering an excellent gliding surface.

Aspects: North, North East, East, South East, North West.

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 1.5
