It is referred to as the "Rooster Comb" area. This is on the Southwest side of Mill Valley (ie: skiers right while going under the powerlines inbounds. Interesting, the Pacific Crest Trail crosses the slide path near the lake. It's certainly covered with a bit more snow now.
I happened to see another avalanche control video taken of the same area, but one that shows more of location that you'll likely recognize

Where is that? Is it off Cowboy Ridge?

Finally got my photo re-sized. It shows trees (partially) downed by the slide on the N - NE side of Josephine. When I got to where I could barely see the crown, it was foggy and very flat light and I didn't try a photo. Seen on Feb 22, must have happened the night or day before.

a little late, but on Saturday the 15th, the west face of the south peak of Lichtenberg slid huge down to the creek. started midway down, and narrow, but deep, and stepped down and out taking most of the lower face with it.
looked to be natural. no tracks in or out. started at a weak point from warming rock, or trees... 10'+ crown. not sure if it was all of February's snow.
observed from heather ridge. slide time estimated around noon that day.

Thanks for the update on Lict. I've been avoiding that area (one of my favorites) waiting for it to pop. It was a bit overdue.
