Chic-Choc Mountains.
Depending on the altitude and actual temperatures we'll have on Sunday, the surface could be highly variable. Remember to share your information at the end of your day tomorrow!
No new avalanche was reported or observed.
If you go into the backcountry, thanks for sharing your observations on the Mountain Information Network (MIN).
Generally speaking, above 800m, the few centimetres of precipitation remained dry, whereas below 800m, precipitation fell in mixed form depending on the time of day. At lower altitudes, temperature had a more marked effect on the snowpack, as the first 5 to 10 cm were wet. In short, depending on altitude and the actual temperatures on Sunday, expect a variety of surfaces ranging from low-density snow, to thick crust, to crumbly crust and wet snow.
The core of the snowpack is well consolidated, and resting on the December 30 combo of facetted grains and crust. Facetted grains and depth hoar are developing at the base of the snowpack.
Synopsis : Still under the influence of the low-pressure system, light precipitation in mixed forms is expected on Sunday, before temperatures drop again on Monday.
Saturday evening and night : Generally cloudy. Trace of snow. West winds around 40 km/h. Minimum -3C. Frost level at 600m.
Sunday: Cloudy. Trace of snow or rain. West winds from 40 to 50 km/h. Maximum -1C, with cooling during the day. Freezing level at 500m.
