Recently formed wind slab from the wind/storm event of Saturday the 7th. Lots of loose snow on the ground from last storm was available for transport along with 6-8" of new, low density snow. Crown depth where it initiated looked to be about 2'. Further down slope it appeared to have stepped deeper, possibly up to 4' Due to the comparative depth of this slide, it is possible that it stepped down into the older, persistent slab. Distance and visibility prevented a better analysis.
