Skinned up to Scotts Pass and upon my arrival the slope in West Scott's Bowl slid. I (most likely) remotely triggered the slice although it may have been a group skinning up the ridge. Perhaps it just slid on its own as well. My companions and I immediately commenced a search and determined there were no signals coming from the debris. Later, when we ascended the ridge there was no sign someone had dropped in that I could see, either.
Crown seemed about two feet and width seeemed about 100'. Could be wider. The avalanche broke to ground and slid all the way to the bottom of the slope. See pictures for some detail.
In addition, we had some impressive shooting cracks on the northern slope of Pinecone Ridge.
