Here's a few different vantage points of the slide and some pics showing the wind transport that I'd guess caused this to natural. Due to skiing the bedsurface of a few other small pockets that released inbounds yesterday and some backcountry today, I'd say this is confined to the weak layers within the new snow. Debris looked no more than 18", although the sluffing was easily running fast enough the last few days to knock riders over

Slide on Over Easy - Davenport. It looked to be a cornice fall. It wasn't there in the morning when we were in East Bowl but we noticed it on our way to Flanagan's around 11am.
