Skier triggered small slab and natural loose on Black Mtn. Absaroka

While approaching Black Mountain from Pine Creek Lake. Noticed two dry loose snow problems on the way up near rock bands on North facing aspects at 9500'. R1.5 D1. Winds were powerful around 30mph at the summit and on the approach our major concern was wind slab problem reacting around 5 inches deep. We skied South aspect and as it warmed we triggered D1 R1 slabs that ran slow and short. Although we never skied on substantial slabs, we were eager to get moving and out of any run outs.
