The majority of the main face slid, but the video shows a section below and on the ridge to the west. We came upon it at noon and it looked like it was fairly fresh. I imagine that it slid within a few hours of us seeing it.
It was difficult to see the exact depth since we didn't feel comfortable getting much closer.
Earlier, while traversing east on Sheep Sh!t ridge, we noticed a small pocket that released mid-slope on the West face of Peak 9467.
A very upside down snowpack with significant wind transport created very challenging skiing, both ascending and descending.
