This likely failed overnight or during the storm, and noticed it immediately while entering the drainage this am. HS-N-D3-R3. Seems to have failed on same interface as the remote from Tuesday in the other end of the Draw - facets surrounding the decomposing rime crust formed around 1/13.

Depth was likely 3-4ft, hard to identify width since the other half already slid Tuesday. The debris ran through the gully and terminated at the summer trail, almost 1,600'.
