LAST BULLETIN OF THE SEASON - RARE OCCURRENCES OF WET SNOW DEPARTURES ON THE HIGH-ALTITUDE NORTH SLOPE Triggered releases: above 3300/3500 m, a skier moving late can initiate a small wet snow release. A rare wind slab may persist in the coldest, highest slopes. Small-sized avalanches (size 1), rarely medium-sized (size 2). At lower altitude, the snowpack is well stable. Spontaneous releases: unlikely, as the rain or snow showers at the end of the day are too weak to generate natural activity.
Snow cover is deficient due to an exceptionally warm and dry spring. Observed snow depths: 130 cm at La Nivôse des Écrins at 2970 m. Skiable snow limit: from 2600 m in the snowiest sectors, locally 2400 m. On foot, many névés are still present from 2100/2200 m on north-facing slopes, much lower in avalanche deposits. Surface snow condition: fully humidified snowpack, except on north slopes above 3300/3500 m, where Thursday evening's snowfall brought between 10/20 cm in the heart of the massif.
