I triggered this avalanche WAY remotely while Hardesty and I were descending the flagstaff ridge. The more easterly aspect of the gully wall is harboring facets obviously. This propagated uphill from where I triggered it about 200 feet. There were also some cross-loaded terrain features that were cracking within the new snow. Southerly aspects are much more safe then north right now but don't let your guard down.
