Actually noted two separate avalanches in West Monitor but could only get photos of this one, due to a ground blizzard. Looked like a cornice calved of naturally and triggered this avalanche, crown was about 20" at the deepest part 50 to 60 feet wide and ran way out on the flats at the bottom, same deal with the other slide I saw. Intense wind loading was the culprit.
