Regions

Chic-Choc Mountains.

A small amount of snow is available in the mountains for wind transport.

If you notice areas more heavily loaded with new snow, keep in mind that it rests on a crust that could provide an excellent sliding surface.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches reported or observed.

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

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
  • Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
  • Closely monitor how the new snow is bonding to the crust.

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.
