Chic-Choc Mountains.

Even if the avalanche risk is generally low on Sunday, it's still important to exercise caution. There is no such thing as zero risk in the mountains.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanche observed or reported.

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

Snowpack Summary

On Saturday night, a surface crust will probably form as high as the Alpine regions. In the alpine and at treeline, conditions vary greatly between different aspects, but especially between different mountains. We find either surface rock, ice, crusted snow or wind-hardened snow accumulations.

The middle of the snowpack consists of alternating well-consolidated snow and melt-freeze crusts. At mid-mountain, the depth of the snowpack varies from 60 to 180 cm.

Weather Summary

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
  • Back off slopes as the surface becomes moist or wet with rising temperatures.
