Thanks to everyone who submitted an avalanche occurrence for the avalanche off of the northeast face of Little Water Peak on Jan 2, 2022. The UAC greatly values the observations we receive from the community and we couldn't imagine being able to do as effective a job if it were not for the valuable observations we receive. This is a summary from all the different observations we received and we are listing it as "UAC Staff" but it is a compendium of all the reports we received.

This avalanche was likely remotely-triggered and occurred mid-day on January 2, 2022. The slope is quite steep at the top (approaching 40°) and was likely wind-loaded from recent strong wind events from the west/southwest. The avalanche failed on weak, faceted snow down near the ground. Estimates of the crown size are 3-12' deep and 800-1000' wide. It ran 600' vertical down to the flats below.
