At about 11:30 a.m. on February 14, an avalanche slid down an area of California’s Mammoth Mountain Ski Area known as Lincoln Mountain. While this area was closed to guests at the time, two ski patrollers conducting avalanche mitigation work were caught by the slide.

One of the patrollers was recovered at the scene uninjured, though the other patroller was found with serious injuries and flown for medical care.

In a February 22 update from the ski area, it was confirmed that the injured ski patroller, Claire Murphy, died as a result of her injuries.

The avalanche came after roughly six feet of snow landed at the central California destination in just 36 hours. As a result, the resort was very limited in public operations on the day of the fatal slide amid safety concerns, with just two lifts open. After the slide, the resort was closed for the remainder of the day.

Condolences go out to those impacted by Claire Murphy’s death.

According to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, 14 people have been killed in avalanches around the country so far this snow season. A total of 13 fatal avalanches have occurred, three of which took place in Colorado.
