2 separate avalanche incidents occurred on The Arm in the Baker backcountry on 1/10/22. They were not reported by the party involved, and minimal information is known. In one avalanche, a person was caught, carried, and deployed their airbag, as seen by the photographer. Those involved are visible in the photo. The avalanches both likely failed beneath the 12" of new snow which fell the previous night. SS-ASc-D2-I
