Here’s a report post to Utah Avalanche Center of someone who witnessed the slide:
Traveling from Aspen Grove starting at 10:45, I heard and saw more than a dozen small avalanches and snow falls on the N side of Elk Point. At 11:12 a snowboarder in a party of 2 triggered small avalanche on Bob’s Knob. It began in shallow snow after his first couple of turns, and carried him about halfway down the hill before he rode to the side. His partner was safely on the side. In the moments after the two made it down, 3 larger slides come down in the same area. Red line in photo shows initial start.
