Triggered 2 small D1s on test slopes near skin track. SS slid to the ground. Storm slab is cohesive with itself and moist sticky snow at lower elevations. The test slopes were BTL, 11,000 ft, protected from wind on NW and NE aspects. Witnessed 2 naturals on similar slopes, including a crown 100' wide, slope 20ft high. Still a D1 but concerning for implications about bigger slopes. These slides were all in sheltered areas, raising a question of whether DH or a buried SH is at play.
