Triggered wet, soft slide at lower elevation below five temptions, skiing down from Unnamed Peak above Silver Lake, American Fork Canyon. Extremely soft, poor quality snow with recent heating at lower elevation. Snow began pealing away under-foot as we skied across lower elevation slope eventually pulling 100 ft wide, 5" deep slab directly under-foot. Continued across slope to safe location watching slide continue down slope into ravine eventually stopping approximately 400 ft below. Concerned about further slides and exit, skied atop debris field to TR 044 and boot hiked out.
