Look like it went at some point of overnight/early morning with the storm. Possible cornice triggered, ran length of the chute in some locations and stopped on ridges where the slope wasn't steep enough. Propogated across multiple start zones roughly 300' wide and 2-4' deep. Seemed to run mostly in the new snow/facets formed in the recent dry spell, but didn't appear to run to the ground on basal week layer.
