Quick report

After getting off my sled and feeling the ground collapse, I quickly walked over to the East face of the mountain which was only about 15 feet away and watched the entire face of lava mountain slide. The slide was deep I did not measure how deep the break was, but ground was showing down the entire face of the mountain. At the base of the mountain, I saw the debris break a. Few trees and followed the drainage, a good ways down. The slide was very wide. To the South, I could not even see where it ended but could see debris in drainage further South. I snaped a few photos and left pretty quickly. I did not see any other sleders on u trail or tracks that would indicate any one had been In the area besides me today. Seemed like a pretty stable day. No red flags or warnings. Got off of my sled to take a photo. I was standing next to my sled when I felt the ground collapse and immediately realized that an avalanche had been triggered.
