Continued on to Scotts Peak, N facing, cornice drop on the lower ridgeline pulled out a pocket 30 to 40ft wide 7" deep looked like new snow only but may have stepped down on the roll over, ran out onto the flats. Another cornice drop up the ridge aways produce another avalanche that propagated out to 100ft about 40ft of the ridge. Both slides propagated out wider when they were running, both ran to the flats. Pics, first slide, and both slides from the ridge to No Name. Oh yeah a nice spindrift waterfall from Hellgate this morning.
