Shallow loose snow avalanche triggered around 0830 this morning by intentional ski cut. Slop angle unknown but estimated at 40 degrees. Location was at the top of the ridgeline 300 yards west of the Black Knob around Little Superior. Depth of slide unknown but it appeared to be only the new snow sliding. No skier was caught in the slide and there were no skier injuries. Any other questions, feel free to email me.

Thanks
