Looked to be from this morning or late last night judging by debris. I didn't take a super close look but judging by others that had likely avalanches the day prior, this one looked more recent.

heavily wind loaded spot and other easterly slopes a bit lower had very sensitive drifts, 10-12" slab on them and the snow was very upside down feeling, beneath that rotten sugar to the ground.
