MAMMOTH LAKES, Calif. () — Two ski patrollers were injured in an avalanche at Mammoth Mountain Friday morning during mitigation work.

Both patrollers were caught in the slide when the avalanche came down on Lincoln Mountain at around 7:30 a.m. and had to be transported to Mammoth Hospital, according to a post on Mammoth Mountain’s Instagram.
One patroller sustained serious injuries while the other was evaluated with possible broken bones.
Further information on their condition was not immediately available.
All mountain operations were suspended Friday morning due to high avalanche danger.
This comes as a storm slams Southern California, bringing low temperatures to the mountains and giving way for snow in the high-elevation areas.
Since Tuesday, Mammoth Mountain has received over five feet of snow.
Less than a year ago, two people were also trapped in an avalanche following a powerful storm on Lincoln Mountain. That incident happened Feb. 14 and left two staff members injured as well.
