| episode_narrative | The winter season's first strong atmospheric river moved slowly south from the Pacific Northwest coast between the 15th and the 16th before moving inland over northern California and Nevada on the 17th. The system brought high winds, significant snow, and rain to the Sierra Nevada and western Nevada. |
| event_narrative | A dry slab avalanche occurred on Tamarack Peak within the Hourglass Bowl at 0900PST 16 November and partially buried a female skier and totally buried a male skier. A quote from the Sierra Avalanche Center: The person who was still skiing when the avalanche hit her was blown out of her skis and they were buried. She may have hit a tree and her back began seizing up. The person buried had both skis but lost a pole and one skin and had a torn ligament in his ankle. Therefore from this report, it is evident that both the skiers were injured in this avalanche. |
