Today while ascending the low-angle shoulder directly south of Scotts Pass to Pt. 9800, I remotely triggered an avalanche from roughly 50 meters away into the NE bowl above Scotts Pass. The avalanche initially released 3-4' deep on a layer of facets, and spread across much of the bowl with crown depths up to 5' deep. The avalanche broke 600' wide and ran 500' down the slope into the flats. Due to the amount of hangfire, I did not measure debris depths but I would assume debris stacked up fairly deep. Plenty of cracks could be seen on sections of the slope that did not slide, and I would imagine these hanging slabs might go soon. The area was free and clear of any tracks and people.

This avalanche broke on my second ascent up the shoulder, having already put in a skin track.
