Avalanche Forecast

No new avalanches have been observed or reported. Please share your observations at bulletin@avalanchequebec.ca or via the Mountain Information Network.

Below 500m, a thin layer of wet snow covers 10 to 20 cm of low density snow. Above 500m, the snow remained dry. Summits are generally scoured to crust or ground, and 10 to 25 cm of snow are covering the November 28 crust. Depending on the area, 55 cm of snow covers the ground, with up to 100 cm in areas of maximum loading, depressions and concavities.

Snow cover in the mountains remains minimal and highly variable from one place to another. Our observations are limited, but the east side of 299 seems to have been favoured by the latest storms. The snow cover could be thicker there, and the risks higher. Keep in mind that at the beginning of the season, even if the probability of an avalanche of significant size is very low, isolated pockets of unstable snow could surprise you, and the consequences will be accentuated by terrain traps, such as near-surface obstacles, concavities and gullies.
