LAST BULLETIN OF THE SEASON Triggered releases:* slab under skis in humidified surface snow. When cutting a steep slope, above 2700/2900 m. Level 1.* small wind slab still possible (but very rare). Very steep N slopes in high mountain, above 3200/3400 m, some dry snow may still remain. Monitor changes in snow quality over short distances. Spontaneous releases: rare isolated and superficial releases (pear-shaped) in humid snow after warming. Mainly on N/NE slopes above 2800/3000 m. Level 1 (small).

Snow cover: deficient for the season following the recent heatwave. Skiable limit: around 2300/2400 m in N, 2800/3000 m in S on gentle slopes. Snow quality: good refreezing, snow mostly hard at dawn. Surface humidification occurs quite rapidly but is limited by the wind (crust). On very steep N slopes in high mountain (for example, N face of Grande Casse), some cold snow may still be found, worked by W wind.
