Made poor decisions. 1st skier triggered D0.5 size slide, second skier followed on the mellower terrain next to the first. At the end of the pitch I stopped in untracked, wet snow which started to slide the width of my skis. Looked uphill to see a slow moving wet slide which caught and carried me about 2-300 feet before skiing out. No injuries and no burials. Triggered multiple other slides while exiting through lower elevations. Happened at about 4:30 PM.
