I released a steep newly wind loaded pocket broke east facing off of Claytons Peak at Brighton Resort. I was caught for about 50' and saved myself on a dogleg left turn of the chute. Minor cuts and scratches was only result.
Forecaster Note - The individual used Brighton to access the terrain - which is OUT OF BOUNDS terrain. It is accessed by the public through open gates, but enters the public domain and is thus not controlled by Brighton Snow Safety.
