Observed several new human triggered slab avalanches that occurred today in upper Eldorado Bowl on South aspects between 4000-4400' today. These avalanches were directly adjacent, same aspect and elevation to the slab that was triggered yesterday.

It appears that each run an avalanche was triggered.
Not sure if anyone was caught and carried or injured.
