A large avalanche roared down a slope on Mammoth Mountain in California on Saturday morning. “Essentially the top of the mountain came loose,” skier Barbara Maynard told The Los Angeles Times. Three people, including a resort worker, were partially buried but managed to free themselves and were uninjured, according to the resort. The slope was closed to skiing when the avalanche hit, but the snow pushed into an area open to the public. The resort is located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range about 300 miles north of Los Angeles.
