Comments
Slide reported to Brighton patrol. Unsure of many details other than human triggered and no one caught. Dimensions are a guess based on info received from reporting party. Weak layer is also a guess based upon current condition and depth. -----Forecaster's note: Sounds like a total of 3 slides, 2 human triggered and perhaps one natural, on the Lack-o-waxen side of Claytons.
