Wind slab on Banana Chute

Small wind slab triggered on too section of banana chute, slab and snowpack were shallow at location of trigger. Was carried a few meters by the small slide and managed to stop myself and snow slide around me. High winds from N/NW on the ridge lines had affected snow across entire face. However, this was the only evidence we saw of slides. Likely due to the very shallow snow pack as evidenced by exposed rocks on photos. Be wary of small wind slabs above exposure, any larger and I would likely have gone for a ride over a 3+ m rock band.
