Came upon this avalanche on my way up to the Catcher's Mitt. Could have been natural during high PI rates. However, my guess is skier triggered upon entering the couloir or via a chunk of cornice as there were skier tracks coming out of the couloir (skied the best surface in the couloir). Soft slab of unknown depth, but ran a good distance and around 1000' vertical.
