Avalanche on Hawkins Peak.

Received a report on Jan 5 from a reliable source that an avalanche failed to near ground level (persistent slab) on Hawkins Peak, viewed from westbound CA Hwy 88. Likely occurred on Jan 4 afternoon during storm event. No other info known. Will update this observation if more info becomes available.

We went to investigate the reported avalanche on Hawkins Peak from Jan 5.  We drove down to Woodfords and found some good vantage points to look at the northern terrain of Hawkins with binoculars.  We are pretty confident that we did not see any avalanches in this area.  We did see an interesting wind scoured ridge feature with snow surface texture and an exposed moraine below it that could have been mistaken as an avalanche crown and bed surface.
