This avalanche released late during the Christmas storm. Unlike the numerous small slabs in BBQ Bowl from the same cycle, this avalanche was well connected. Facets that formed in October and November were the weak layer.
I looked at the weak snow on this slope on December 3, 2017. Check out the observation along with a video HERE.
