Comments
My best guess is this was a natural wind-drifted snow avalanche that appeared to have failed overnight. There was further snow wind-drifted onto the bed surface, crown face, and over the debris. It was isolated to a steep gully feature to the lookers right of Rocky Point on a north-northeast facing slope at 10,400'.
