Fresh wind slab was already formed and still forming with strong W winds lower down the SE run. We could feel the wind slab getting deeper lower down the slope because of strong winds not really loading the upper part of the run. There was presence of a really thin sun crust under the triggered slab. We triggered 2 slab at the same exact elevation and aspect, about 100m one from another. One slab was bigger and could have buried someone. The first slab was smaller size 1, wouldn't have buried someone but could injure if the splitboarder had sled down with it. Both slabs triggered by splitboarders. Skiers were too fast that day to trigger anythin. All splitboarders escaped the slab and nobody sled. Nobody ws injured.
