Lack-o-waxen activity reported to Brighton patrol by side country users. This was apparentlly several adjacent slides making up the total width. Reported as easy trigger from starting zones, running about half track length, and as being managable with ski cuts and good backcountry practices.
The slide I reported on figure 8 hill was also reported to Brighton Patrol by side country users.
I would like to thank the folks that take time to notify patrol of these incidents. Once again this sharing of information helps out the resort/backcountry community relationship and promotes would be rescuer safety by not exposing rescue teams to hazards without reason.
