Skier triggered two small wind slabs (2-3") on a steep NNE aspect. The first was 5ft wide and slid about 30ft beneath the skier down the small but steep chute. The skier then continued, triggering a second, wider slab which slid only a few feet before stopping as the slope mellowed out. Skier was not caught and was able to ski out to the side.
