It looks like parts of this face avalanched at two different times. The looker's right chute had old debris under it. The left chute and face has slightly fresher debris and it probably avalanched the same time as Double Hill.
The weak layer was the snow surface we skied on Jan 1st which was incredibly weak and sluffing as we descended.

Second photo shows sluffing of the very weak surface on Jan 1st.
