Noticed this Sunday morning, just east of UT 31 above Fairview Lakes area. Likely wind loaded, likely natural. No human tracks leading into it. Fox tracks all around. Ran maybe 100 feet, small debris pile, unlikely to bury anyone. First photo shows this slide. Other photos show cracking about 100 meters to the north, on NE facing. One had a small crown on the northern edge and a small debris pile. Impressive cracks. Location is 39.629444 N, 111.323056 W, just northeast of a large plowed pullout. Visible from the road as you drive south.
