Triggered by first skier in party cutting across slope above convexity. Broke 4m below skier, below convexity. Skier stopped and slab propegated from remote trigger location to below skier. Skier not involved further. Failed on a very hard melt/freeze or rain crust. This crust was not apparent on nearby similar elevation east facing or south facing slopes.
