Saw this slide over on Santiago once the clouds cleared up about mid day. It appears to be a natural from this mornings heavy wind loading. The entire slopes seems to have ripped on the new snow/old snow interface, although it doesn't appear to have much "old snow" on it. Likely to be a repeater this winter.
