While returning back from the Monitors noticed a avalanche in Scotts Bowl, new snow only, crown was snowed in a bit must have happened early this morning, ran all the way to the flats, kind of the same scenario that was happening all day, new light density snow sliding on facets and crusts, cold smoke not bonding well on any steep slopes. Bottom part of this path has already slide once this year about three weeks ago. Photos, a couple of the crown, and one of the path, hard to see the debris in the bottom, but it did run out on the flats.
