Was just getting to the top of silver with a friend when we saw a party preparing to drop towards park city despite active wet slab conditions including many rollerballs. Skier 1 in the party drops and triggered a small slow wet slide off of a wind lip which then caught and carried the skier 10 feet or so. Thankfully this one did not break bigger and thankfully did not trigger the larger cornice above. Skier 2 ski cut and did not trigger any additional slides but continued to ride the same aspect down.
