Noticed this from hideaway and skinned up to check it out around 5:30pm. The slide appeared to be naturally triggered by a massive cornice collapse. The winds were cranking and transporting snow at an alarming rate as they have for the past few days. The debris was covered by a few inches of new snow but I'm not sure exactly when it occurred.
