Stumbled across another avalanche in Scotts Bowl. It appears to have been triggered by a snowshoe rabbit making it a "hare trigger". You can see the tracks leading into the fracture line in the photo below.

While it wasn't all that wide or deep, it did run to the bottom of the slope entraining snow and producing a sizable debris pile. This was right next to a fairly large avalanche reported last week.
