We spotted an avalanche in the north part of Mount Jimmy Simpson (see map) on Saturday, Feb 10th around 11 am. It looked quite fresh so it probably happened not long ago, probably one of the previous days. We noticed ski tracks in runout zone (marked by red arrows), luckily ski tracks were in and out meaning skier(s) were not buried. Probably skier(s) crossed the avalanche path not long time before the avalanche occurred.
