It looks, from lower on the ridge, to have potentially been a small soft slab triggered by a tree bomb. It then ran a couple hundred feet blending into what looks like older avy debris. Pitcured first is the crown and then the debris
In other news we observed some loose wet action on solars at mid to lower elevations and felt/heard a large collapse with shooting cracks just off the guardsman pass road about a thousand feet from the pass on bcc side. Large striated cups < 5mm estimated, very unconsolidated. In a wind affected area with hs varying from 30cm to 300+ cm (huge road drift).
