We did a profile in this slide path two weeks ago - There was a hard slab over facets - Looks to have been caused by new snow/wind overloading existing snow - the slope was a rocky area with a shallow snow pack. Along this ridge there were 2 other slides same characteristics. New snow 15 cm at Millers Flat.
