My partner triggered 2 small soft slabs as we were making our final run out. These were not entirely unexpected as we had dug a pit earlier that showed very easy propagation of the new snow on the buried surface hoar and we had avoided most steep slopes. The first slide, shown in the picture below, was very small. It was on a small rollover on an otherwise low angle slope. Partner cut the roll and the slab released, 8-10 inches deep sliding on surface hoar. Only 20 feet wide, running only about 10 feet down slope. Nothing major. Just a couple minutes later we dropped down another, larger roll. Thought it may slide but still considered the slope/and the soft slab hazard manageable. Slope did not slide on the first skier, but did slide on the 2nd. Again only 8-10 inches deep, sliding on surface hoar. However, this one was a bit wider, approximately 50-60 feet. Skier was able to just let the snow wash by. Again, this 2nd slide was manageable, but in reality we were probably pushing it a bit on the 2nd slope. Given what we knew, should have just avoided this little section.
