Skier dropped into the SE face of hero's knob, went hard skiers right into a steeper loaded feature and remote triggered the slope roughly 100m above. Skier was in front of the avalanche until lower down in the constriction, they were hit hard from the back and lost there skis and poles and deployed airbag. Skier stopped at the bottom of the path on the surface with multiple injuries. This wind slab was sitting on top of the feb 14th sun crust.
