While skiing on steep rib feature, an athlete on a film shoot triggered a small loose dry avalanche. Skied or possibly swept over small cliff off planned line of descent. Landed in flat spot/hollow and buried by small avalanche that came over cliff from behind. Possibly a very thin soft slab may have been involved as well as loose snow avalanche.
