Regions

Chic-Choc Mountains, Chic-Chocs.

Conditions are generally stable, but caution is still required in alpine terrain before committing, especially on leeward slopes facing east, southeast, and south.

Confidence

High

  • We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.
  • We have a good understanding of the snowpack structure and confidence in the weather forecast.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches reported or observed.

If you head into the backcountry, thanks for sharing your observations on the Mountain Information Network (MIN).

Snowpack Summary

In the alpine zone and at the forest limit, snow cover varies greatly from place to place: the north and west slopes are mostly bare, while the other slopes have a combination of hardened snow and old wind slabs.

In sheltered areas, 20 to 25 cm of powder snow covers a gradually denser snowpack up to a crust formed on December 20. Under this crust, there are facetted grains and depth hoar.

A thin, brittle sun crust is observed on steep south and southwest facing slopes.

The average snowpack depth at mid-mountain is approximately 120 cm.

Weather Summary

WEATHER FOR THE CHIC-CHOCS RIDGES AND PEAKS

High pressure is moving into the region, increasing north winds while maintaining dry conditions.

Saturday evening and night: Partly cloudy. Winds 20 to 40 km/h from the northwest. Low -18.

Sunday: Mostly cloudy. Snow possible overnight, 2 to 3 cm. Winds from the northwest at 20 to 40 km/h. High -12.

Monday: Cloudy. Winds from the northwest at 20 to 40 km/h. High -11.

Tuesday: Sunny. Winds from the northwest at 20 km/h. High -6.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Carefully evaluate big and steep terrain features before committing to them.

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.
