Looks like this slope avalanched naturally during the storm, potentially on the November dry spell layer. Saw it from road while driving in Summit Park and didn't have time to check it out more closely. I'd estimate it's a ~40 degree slope, due North, around 7200 ft. Plough had already cleared any debris that may have reached the road. Just a clear red flag of how sensitive the snowpack is to the new load right now.
