Problems extracted by AI from bulletin text. May be inaccurate.

LAST BULLETIN OF THE SEASON Triggered releases:* slab under skis in moist 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 moist 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 2200 m in the North, 2700/2800 m in the South on gentle slopes. Snow quality: poor refreezing at awakening below 3000 m, better above. Recent snow is crusted at awakening on all aspects/all elevations. With the sun, it softens and quickly becomes sticky/heavy. Only on high mountain North-facing slopes, very steep (such as North face of Tsanteleina), can some cold snow be expected.
