We viewed this from the Cardiff/Mineral ridgeline so a bit of speculation here but we could make out bushes sticking out of the starting zone that were not there a couple of days ago. The small trees at the bottom also appeared to be covered up with debris. Our guess is that this slope avalanched to the ground on Saturday morning sometime.
