While skinning across a north-east aspect on Dromedary's shoulder, encountered a hard wind slab. Naively continued traversing the slope, even though it felt like a slab. The avalanche broke above me and caught one of my skis and carried me to a flat slope 100 feet below. When I came to a stop, pulled by ski out and skied out into Mill B.
