This slab from must have been triggered by me or right before I arrive the debris was fresh. Looked to be a natural or remotely triggered cornice drop that popped out a slide when it hit the slope, there was a crown but I was unwilling to hang out under the massive cornices to document it. Looked like new snow only wind slab.
