Natural slide likely occurred overnight or early morning as snow stacked, the weather warmed and SWE increased. There was an inch or two of new snow covering the small debris pile so this likely happened early morning.

This is not an uncommon spot for this to happen along side the road.

2 separate spots slid but were within 50 meters of each other.
