I observed this small natural avalanche on a north aspect in Gold Hill which may be a day or two old. I thought it was a little odd to see this slide mid-slope and nothing else in the area. The terrain in that area is rocky and likely has some weaker snow which may be the culprit? The Uintas are very white and filled-in right now which is unusual for this time of year.
