Observed from a distance. Difficult to tell details as the wind was so strong and blowing. Likely natural but could have been triggered remotely from snowmobile traffic on the ridge above.

it looked TK have at least a 2ft crown and rand surprisingly far for this zone. at least 300-400 ft.

This area was heavily wind loaded all day and likely all last night. Debris looked fairly fresh so I'd say it broke loose mid to late day today.
