Looks like a skier got caught in a small slide on Wolverine Ridge. Snow on the ridge was generally powder on a supportive base. There were also hard wind slabs near the top of the ridge, and a band of facets where the supportive layer seemed to temporarily break down halfway down the slope. It looks like the slide occurred at the same elevation as that facet layer.
