We were sitting in a back yard in Utah valley, and saw the avalanche happening. Assumed to be naturally occurring. 6:30pm, west facing, so likely from warming snow. You can see the huge break line in the photos. I don't ski up there, so I'm not sure which chute this is, so I highlighted the crown in red for reference, and the other photo is a close up.
