Reporting on two separate observations. First photo is a convex roll remote triggered by a party of two that traversed ~10m above it. Depth looked to line up with snow accumulation from this week (>1m). Sluffed out the zone below and the soft slab ran surprisingly far. Second photo is a larger slide on the east side of the ridge that Homerun starts on that appears to have been remote or natural (no visible tracks in the area) with a >1m crown that propagated across a sparsely treed section of the slope.
