2-3” wind slab on top of facets

Avalanche

I triggered a slide while traversing underneath a cliffband at the top of my intended line. I felt a small collapse and the wind slab released around me. The slide broke about 10 feet above me, It knocked me off my feet and carried me for about 10 feet but I was able to regain my feet and ski out to the left. The slide ran about 100 yards and the crown was 2-3 inches. Aspect: SE Elevation: 11,740
