Skier intentionally triggered wind slab avalanche @10400ft on E-NE facing slope in Main Days. The slide did break above the skier which was unexpected, but no one was caught. The slide occurred in rocky terrain with obvious current wind loading. We observed 1inch of new snow, strong winds, and obvious wind loading to the east through lcc.
