Chic-Choc Mountains

The weather and conditions are great to enjoy the mountains! If you're heading into complex terrain, assess your line before committing, as isolated problems could be found.

No new avalanches were observed or reported in the mountains today.

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

In the Alpine and on exposed features at treeline, snow has been unevenly distributed by the winds. On sheltered features and below treeline, the mild temperatures of the last few days are slowly helping with the settling of the low-density snow. At mid-mountain, the snowpack is at about 100 cm in the north of the forecast area, compared to 65 cm in the south.

The weather is generally stable for the next few days.

Sunday evening: Mostly cloudy. No precipitation. Winds from the south at 5 km/h. -9C.

Monday: Alternating sun and cloud. No precipitation. Winds from 5 to 10 km/h from the east. -10C.
