Quick report

Saturday - ascended from Snow Lakes Trailhead to Inspiration Lake in the Core Enchantments. - Crossed of avalanche debris on our ascent - Including what looked to be a very recent ~D2 avalanche / land slide mix on an East aspect at about 5k ft - Throughout the day, we didn't experience any cracking, roller balls, whoomphs - Looking off at the N/NW slopes of Little Annapurna and Mclellan (see pics), we could see runnels, wind effected snow, and some small slides - but no signs of major avalanche activity - From camp at Inspiration Lake, we watched several D1 slides happen live on the lower South slopes of Enchantment peak Sunday - descending from Inspiration Lake camp down Aasgard Pass to Eight Mile Road - Light rain started at 7am and continued on and off throughout the day - We lost visibility of all surrounding peaks around then too - We descended cautiously down Aasgard - there were recent D1 wet slides that potentially happened earlier in the day with the heavier rain - The snow was soft but very heavy and saturated - In some spots with heavier saturation, we were able to get the top 1-2 inches to start moving - Looking off at Colchuck Glacier, we saw a couple of D1 slides that potentially happened earlier in the day as well
