Wind drifted soft slab broke about ten feet above us and knocked us both down but we both quickly self arrested and didn't get carried. Weather conditions were very bad with high winds that were turbulent and not coming from a consistent direction making this hard to see or predict. We encountered several more wind slabs that we avoided on our way out on East and Northerly aspects so the problem is all over the compass.
