Natural avalanche, debris had about 2-3" of new snow over it, so probably happened during the latter part of the frontal passage on Thursday afternoon. Starting zone was up in the cliffs on top of the mineral/lake blanche ridge line, ran down the slope and into the flatter section of the slope, splitting around terrain features. Debris from other similar, but smaller slides, was also visible.
