Engadine Burn Slides

Skied the open trees at Engadine burn above the bench. We stayed at or below treeline. First lap in the narrow opening or chute like feature was good. Decent snow but some sharks to watch out for. No signs of instability. Second lap far skiers left in 30 to 35 degree terrain, west aspect. Temperatures had warmed notably. Skiers triggered several size 1's in the wet snow that collected some facets. A size 1.5-2 was caused by skiers that stepped down into facets and ran to the bottom of the slope. No signs of wind, no propagation. No skiers caught.

Far skiers left in 30-35 degree terrain in open burnt trees. It was warm, mostly cloudy with some sun poking through the clouds. The snow was getting wet. Riders triggered a couple size 1's when turning hard or stopping that started as pinwheels then stepped down into the facets. A size 1.5-2 was triggered by two riders that stepped down into facets and ran to the bottom of the slope. Natural pinwheeling had occurred at start point of this slide prior to skier traffic. There were no signs of propagation. Slope angle was 30 to 35 degrees. No riders were caught in the slides. No signs of wind or slabs.
