It's working for me. I'm using Sublime Text Build 3083 in Win 8.1

<snippet>
    <content><![CDATA[console.log();]]></content>
    <!-- Optional: Tab trigger to activate the snippet -->
    <tabTrigger>cl</tabTrigger>
    <!-- Optional: Scope the tab trigger will be active in -->
    <scope>text.html</scope>
    <!-- Optional: Description to show in the menu -->
    <description>JS Console Log</description>
</snippet>

You can try it.

The content of your <scope> tag is wrong. To determine the current scope under your cursor, run the following in the Sublime console:

view.scope_name(view.sel()[0].begin())

To bring up the console on Windows, press Ctrl+'

I would also make sure, in addition to the information above, that the document that you are opening is an HTML document in Sublime text. Look in the bottom right hand corner. When I first started using the custom snippets they didn't work and it was because the default file type in Sublime is plain text. You can click on the bottom right to change the document to the proper file type.

Sublime Text 3 - Snippet doesn't fire on tab, only on CSS file

in short

change 

<tabTrigger>alter</tabTrigger>

to

<tabTrigger>alter/</tabTrigger>

The reason is the wrong scope, it needs to be text.html.

Also make sure, the text scope is enabled for autocompletions (by default it isn't). Go to Preferences>Settings - User and add text (or text.html for HTML only) to auto_complete_selector.
