Avalanche Forecast

Apr 24th, 2025–Apr 25th, 2025
Alpine
1: Low
The avalanche danger rating in the alpine will be low
Treeline
1: Low
The avalanche danger rating at treeline will be low
Below Treeline
1: Low
The avalanche danger rating below treeline will be low
Alpine
2: Moderate
The avalanche danger rating in the alpine will be moderate
Treeline
2: Moderate
The avalanche danger rating at treeline will be moderate
Below Treeline
1: Low
The avalanche danger rating below treeline will be low
Alpine
2: Moderate
The avalanche danger rating in the alpine will be moderate
Treeline
2: Moderate
The avalanche danger rating at treeline will be moderate
Below Treeline
1: Low
The avalanche danger rating below treeline will be low

Regions: Chic-Chocs.

A LOW danger rating does not exclude all danger. A few hours of sunshine can be enough to weaken the surface and trigger wet loose avalanches.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been observed or reported.

If you are out and about in the hinterland, please share your observations with the RIM ( Réseau d'Information en Montagne ).

Snowpack Summary

Overall, the snowpack shows alternating layers of consolidated snow and refreezing crusts. Lighter snow may remain on the surface locally, particularly in wind-sheltered areas on the northern slopes.

Conditions are highly variable in alpine terrain and at treeline, due to the presence of rocky surfaces, exposed ice and areas of marked accumulation.

At mid-mountain, snowpack thickness varies between 80 and 170 cm.

Weather Summary

WEATHER FOR CHIC-CHOCS PEAKS AND SUMMITS

A ridge of high pressure maintains relatively stable weather conditions before the passage of a low-pressure system on Saturday, which will bring a mix of rain and snow.

Thursday evening and night: Cloudy. Intermittent rain or snow starting late this evening. Light southwesterly wind. Low 0. Freezing level at 900 m.

Friday: Alternating sun and cloud. Wind northwest, 10 to 15 km/h. High +3. Freezing level at 1200 m.

Saturday: Wet snow or rain. Accumulation of 10 to 20 cm. Wind south-east, 30 to 50 km/h. Maximum 0. Freezing level at 700 m.

Sunday: Intermittent snow. Wind northeast, 40 to 60 km/h. Maximum +2. Freezing level at 1100 m.

For more details, consult the Chic-Chocs alpine weather forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Back off slopes as the surface becomes moist or wet with rising temperatures.
  • A moist or wet snow surface, pinwheeling, and natural avalanches are all indicators of a weakening snowpack.

Avalanche Problems

Loose Wet

With the heat, the surface snow could become unstable, especially at lower altitudes below treeline, which could cause small wet loose avalanches.

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: Treeline, Below Treeline.

Likelihood: Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 1.5
