Petit Hibou is a short ski touring climb in New Hampshire, rising about 146 feet over a 0.23-mile route from a low point of 1,123 feet to a high of 1,269 feet. The nearest town is North Troy, Vermont, about 7.5 miles away. Winter is the natural season for this outing. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Newport, Vermont, show January highs around 23°F with about 14 snow days, while July highs reach about 78°F. That station sits roughly 480 feet lower than the summit, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. Several trails lie within about 9 miles, including Sentier De L'estrie Zone Glen, Sentier Du Mont Glen (Se), and Sentier Des Sommets (Nord). Lake Memphremagog, a fishing spot in Vermont, is about 9 miles away.
