Chic-Choc Mountains.
The snow surface will likely remain frozen once again Saturday. Traveling on skis is challenging and dangerous on any slopes. Hiking with crampons could be a good way to explore the mountains.
No new avalanches have been observed or reported over the last few days.
If you head into the backcountry, thanks for sharing your observations on the Mountain Information Network (MIN).
Following the spring-like conditions of the last few days, mountain temperatures remained below the freezing point Thursday night and most of Friday. A solid melt-freeze crust is present on all aspects at all elevations. Traveling conditions are challenging with thin snow coverage and/or icy conditions.
