This was reported earlier but it seems more may have slid after that observation.

We looked into Dirt Chute on our way to ski the south side of Murdock. The typical wind loading was obvious but nothing had slid at that point. On our way back we noticed the slide. There were no tracks in the area aside from out skin tracks. The entire Dirt Chute rim broke to the ground. We checked the run-out from the bottom and debris traveled down the chute almost making it to the fan below the trees, about 400 vertical feet.
