At 11am my group of 3 were exiting out from skiing two laps of Wheels up and went to El Rollo to leave. Wheels up was skiing well but on the last lap was beginning to roller ball at the edge of hard left and right footers. As we approached El Rollo the first skier dropped and on the second turn triggered a wet slide that started slowly and quickly gained momentum. The slide occurred on the old snow "crust" and new snow since the last storm. D1-1.5, R1, AS, WL.
