Chic-Choc Mountains.
While we're waiting for the next big snowfall, keep an eye out for natural obstacles near the surface if you're out skiing.
Early season, observations are limited. Thanks for sharing your observation through the Mountain Information Network if you head out.
No new avalanches have been observed or reported. Please share your observations at [email protected] or via the Mountain Information Network.
In general, the snowpack remains very thin. The summits are scoured down to rock or crust. At treeline and below, the height of snow ranges from 55 cm to 80cm. 10 to 25 cm of snow cover the November 28 crust, present in all aspects and altitudes. Greater amounts of snow could be found in areas of maximum loading, depressions and concavities. Make sure to assess these line before committing to it.
Keep in mind that early in the season, isolated pockets of unstable snow could surprise you, and the consequences will be accentuated by terrain traps, such as concavities and gullies.
