Noted what seemed to be a new snow only avalanche off the very peak of Scotts, north facing. Saw it around 2:00pm looked pretty fresh. Looks to have been triggered by a natural cornice drop onto the heavily wind loaded slope. Seemed to be a storm slab avalanche and did not seem to break down into old facets, But it was blowing super hard and the visibility was poor so I can't be totally sure. Too much snow blowing around at the top for any pictures but did get some of the debris pile.
