Observations
From the parking lot below Scorpion, I heard a whomp and saw a large cloud of snow looking up toward Scorpion. Once that cloud settled, snow was sliding down in an avalanche. As the slide slowed down, I saw two skiers coming from above (you see the first one at the very end of the video). The avalanched was triggered at least 50 yards but easily more below where the first skier I saw was. The skiers returned in bounds and did not appear to see the avalanche that occurred below them. Approx 11:40am. - Images aren't uploaded so submitting via text. Video is of the very end of the avalanche.
