Remote trigger. Ran a short distance. Failed on old snow/new snow interface on facets. Remotely triggered by first skier of three. We didn't notice till all three of us were at the bottom due to flat light/snow squall. Seems like areas that have uncompacted old faceted snow (shady/higher elevation) would be likely to produce similiar activity.
