The Valentines Day '99 slide on Mt Baker's Shuksan Arm was a similar size( and killed some folks). Pretty sure a profile was conducted. Not sure where (and if) those results are available.

That crown was over a Kilometer long and stretched across several bowls. This was simply due to a subtle change in wind direction during the storm cycle. Class 4 perhaps

Not feeling the need to brag, I think we do pretty well(?!?) here in the PNW. This one's from White River Canyon just outside the Hood Meadows boundary (Feb. 2008).

I measure the crown in the second image to be about 35 feet based on a six foot tall skier.
I believe this was a natural release caused by a midwinter rain event.
