Spoke with a skier that remotely triggered this avalanche earlier in the day. We viewed it as we were exiting the area. As with the avalanche that we triggered, it is hard to tell whether the most recent near surface facets failed or if it was just a poor bond to the old snow surface or yet, a slight weakness within the first 1cm of the new snow.
