We saw a size 2 off at Cheops on skier's right on Chromosome slope (see photo). We saw the debris and it appeared as though the avalanche occured in the last 24 hours. We didn't see any activity on grizzly avalanche path and we didn't see any debris either on frequent flyer but we didn't see much of it as we went in Teddy Bear trees to avoid it. We dug a snow profile on Teddy bear slope at 1640 m. HS 110 cm ECTP12 at 60 cm down. The snow was heavy and wet. Travel was slow and the ski down was hard. We heard an audible while on the slopes.
