Third hand report of 3 skiers that triggered an avalanche as they ascended the north side of Lake Peak in the White Pine drainage. All 3 were caught and one person went through some trees at the bottom. Apparently, they are all OK. No other information available.

Forecaster note: I wandered all over the White Pine drainage the day afterwards and could not find any evidence of this avalanche. There was extensive wind damage on all slopes above 10,000' so I suspect that the wind erased the evidence. We would appreciate any additional information on this avalanche. We don't care about who triggered it but we do want to know the location, the weak layers involved and keep stats on human involvements in avalanches. Tremper
