Avalanche Bulletin - 2025-12-10

Most of the territory still lacks enough snow to cause avalanches, and skiing remains very risky due to the many obstacles that are not buried. However, in some isolated areas in alpine terrain (ravines, couloirs), there is now enough snow to cause small avalanches, with the presence of reactive wind slabs.

Areas concerned: Mont Albert, Mont Ernest-Laforce, mont Hog's Back, Champs-de-Mars, mont Lyall, mont Vallières-de-Saint-Réal, mont Blanche-Lamontagne et Mines-Madeleine

Issued on: 2025-12-09 @ 16:00, Valid until: 2025-12-10 @ 18:00

Travel advice :

• Watch for areas of hard wind slab on alpine features.
• Use caution above cliffs and terrain traps where even small avalanches may have severe consequences.
• Be cautious of buried obstacles, especially below treeline.

Avalanche Summary

No avalanche activity was observed or reported.

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

Snowpack Summary

Wind slabs are present in areas not protected from the wind and on leeward slopes (east and south). Underneath this wind-affected snow, there is a layer of snow that is undergoing faceting.

The snowpack thickness varies between 40 and 70 cm. Accumulations are greater in couloirs and depressions and in areas of maximum loading.

Weather Summary
