Triggered wind slab at top of steep 40 + degree short wide colouir. Was 2nd person to ride the cooly. Broke behind me them zippered up and across the mouth if it. As I was turning thinking'i got to get moving before I get sloughed'...wham. Down I went and then I entered the white room, not the one I was hoping for, and picked up speed real quick. Thankfully did not hit a rocky side wall. Slope tapered, things slowed and I stood up and rode out of the flow. No injuries or equipment loss. Ran me for maybe 100 m's. Then continued on for a bit. Not terrain traps at the end of it. Only previous signs of issues were sz 1 wind slabs at high ridge lines below cornice edges and definitely wind effected snow.
