Avalanche Occurrence

General Information

Observer:
SAC Forecaster

Verified by SAC?
Yes

Occurrence Date:
Jan 7, 2022 (+/- 1 month)

Location:
Alturas Lake Creek Drainage

Comments:

Likely failed on weak snow near the ground (12/11) interface. This likely happened quite some time ago, I'm mostly reporting it to record it in the database. Best guess would be shortly after the last major precip event (which ended January 7th).
