This is a culmination of third hand reports and feild obs. 12-26-2011 Around noon Brighton patrol received report of a slide in the hidden canyon area adjacent to the resort. Report of one person caught and carried a short distance. I first believed this to be the slide reported off Clayton's Peak. However upon further examination and questioning, there were two incidents. One on Clayton's and one in Hiddern canyon. They have different aspects however shared the same story.
