Observed from the ridge just above Asia Bowl. The avalanche appeared to be a slab that initiated mid-slope along the s/se aspect between Scott's bowl and Radar Love. Looks to be possibly triggered by cornice fall. No ski tracks were visualized, but we did not travel closer to assess. It appeared to be 120' wide, unknown depth. We could not see the debris pile where we were.
