Avalanche Forecast

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 bulletin@avalanchequebec.ca or via the Mountain Information Network.

In the Alpine, some couloirs and depressions have enough snow for skiing. On the east to south facing slopes, winds and orographic movements have left a thin layer of snow, which covers the crust created by the last storm. The latter is present on all aspects and altitudes. Many areas at and below treeline are uncovered, justifying why the index is below threshold for these elevation bands. In general, the height of the snowpack varies from 0 to 35 cm.

Synopsis: The ridge of high pressure bringing nice weather will head towards Labrador on Friday, giving way to a weak low-pressure system and some precipitation for the weekend.

Thursday evening and night: Some clouds. Southerly winds from 25 to 30 km/h. Min. -10C.

Friday: Increasing clouds in the morning. Winds from 25 to 35 km/h from the southeast. Inversion, it will be colder at higher altitudes, up to -3C.

Saturday: Cloudy. 3 to 5 cm of snow. Winds from 5 to 10 km/h from the north. Max. -8C.

Sunday: Cloudy. 2 to 3 cm of snow. Northwest winds at 45 km/h. Max. -12C.

• Travelling on skis is hazardous due to a very shallow mountain snowpack.
