Signs of Unstable Snow

None reported

Observations

Toured at alpy on Saturday. Saw remains underneath Denny from 1 maybe 2 prior slides.

We made our way up towards the ridge of upper international and found no signs of instability. We did not dig a pit, but did perform some on the go field testing as we made our way up resulting in no reactivity from the snow. Other than the attached picture, we saw no signs of avalanche activity at all. The snow itself was soft and deep and stayed put in the steeper terrain on the way up and down.

In the attached pic, which isn't great quality, you can see debris that came down from the right, but it does look like it also slide from the middle of the picture and both slides funneled together.
