Here's some photos I got of the slide on the North Ogden Divide today. I could barely make out the fracture line from across the valley. The photos are poor - I did my best to bring out the details of the avalanche. I don't have any additional info other than what Kory already posted and what the media has reported. My best guess is that is slid on NSF and SH that formed during the cold period that started New Year's Eve. Intense precipitation this morning and through today with substantial water (est. 12-16" of snow with about 1.5" SWE at this elevation), plus a little wind was all it needed.
