Our group skied the north ridge of Scott's to Scott's pass , on our climb back out we remotely triggered from the safety of the ridge the whole bowl. From the edge of rhino and all of Scott's bowl. The strong Nw winds and snowfall made for poor visibility for pictures but we confirmed as we walked the ridge back up to guardsmans pass. I used Drew Hardesty image from later in the day.
