While skinning up toward Little Superior, we reached the"LSB" run and noticed wind slab across a 15 for section of slope until wind-sheltered area. As one skier entered the wind-loaded area, the face was triggered about 2 meters above and carried the skier down slope 30'. No burial, but carry for about 6 meters. The skier exited the slide path through skinning back up to the top and out to the leeward side. This slope had a substantial amount of graupel which had pooled underneath the wind slab.
