Natural avalanche that appears to have released on Friday or maybe Thursday. Could be similar to some that happened on SE facing slopes in the Cottowoods which failed on very small and subtle, faceted stellars near an ice crust.

The wide propagation is notable. Heat the last few days has likely helped this problem heal.

Dimensions are very rough estimates.
