Avalanche: Superior

Exploring the south side of the south ridge of superior - Valeries/Hilton zone. Uphill travel was 50% on the debris that the Gazex mitigation work had released overnight. This certainly gave a false sense of security, even though it should have been noted as a red flag. That false sense eventually became irrelevant, because travel continued past the Gazex and into unmitigated areas above. Preparing to transition and stomping out a landing platform, I remotely triggered a wind slab from about 30' above. The slide ran about 500' in places, but I only traveled about 50' before stopping. In the shuffle managed to break a snowboard but fortunately nothing else. Mistakes were certainly made but one of the biggest takeaways would be to give wind slab problems more respect than I typically tend to. From other reports from today, it looks like lots of reactive wind slabs in similar zones/aspects/elevations.
