Chic-Choc Mountains.

With partly sunny skies, cool temperatures, and light winds, Monday will be a great day in the mountains. Watch for signs of wind slabs in alpine terrain!

Confidence

High

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches reported.

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

Snowpack Summary

5 to 10 cm of new snow covers a melt-freeze crust formed on March 21. The melt-freeze crust of March 7 is present between 10 and 50 cm below the surface. Most of the snowpack is moist.

In the alpine and at treeline, there is little snow on all slopes except those to the east and southeast. At mid-mountain, snowpack height varies between 60 and 150 cm.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Pay attention to isolated wind affected features in the alpine, as well as cross-loaded features at treeline.

Problems

Wind Slabs

Wind Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer of snow (a slab) formed by the wind. Wind typically transports snow from the upwind sides of terrain features and deposits snow on the downwind side. Wind slabs are often smooth and rounded and sometimes sound hollow, and can range from soft to hard. Wind slabs that form over a persistent weak layer (surface hoar, depth hoar, or near-surface facets) may be termed Persistent Slabs or may develop into Persistent Slabs.
