I am a resident of Herriman and noticed this slide today. I am unsure of when the slide occurred, but believe it was within the last 24-36 hours.

Second Report
Noticed the runout piled in the bottom of the canyon today. It wasn't there two days ago. Elevation and distances are a guesstimate from google earth. Snow depth appears to be around 10 inches at the break line but this estimate is from about 1/4 mile away.
