My guess as to a trigger on this slide would be a cornice fall? It is several days old, but it was note worthy to show that slides still have the potential to break into weak snow near the ground, mainly in places where the snow pack remains shallow and weak.
Just poking around up along the ridgeline, it is amazing how much weak snow there is around on this east side of the range.
