Schweitzer slide?

Does anyone have any details about the skier triggered slide at Schweitzer yesterday?
There was a lot of heavy snow on top of the old this week. Lots of stress/tension on the snowpack.
 
Wouldn't shock me if it was the same rollover in headwall that slid a few years ago. Hopefully one of the patrollers will chime in with more details...
 
That was the little canyon that the great escape quad sits in, it usually slides a couple times a year and we have thrown shots there in years past. It is a permanently closed area mostly because the lift is there but that means it gets no skier traffic so it is more like a backcountry snowpack. It was a relatively harmless slide but we have had partial burials ski cutting it in the past. Even the short unsuspecting slopes can be dangerous sometimes.
