Avalanche

At 2pm, my partner and I saw one avalanche at the top of west Marvin’s either occurred yesterday, 2/6/18, or early morning 2/7/18 due to dusting of snow covering slide path. Slide below the cliff band mostly likely occurred today based on debris covering recent ski tracks at the toe of the slide. Didn’t see any tracks entering from the top. We saw two tracks skiers right of the avalanche. Did a quick beacon search through the debris with no hits. Assuming remote or natural trigger.
