I put forward that there was a small collapse of fresh snow but the hikers made the decision to leave the area incase of a hypothetical avalanche, as in worse was to come , in their minds. The truth was , nothing worse was to happen, there was never going to be an avalanche but that is irrelevant if the hikers thought they were in a dangerous place.
Even if there is a small fall or collapse of fresh snow , they should be able to adjust and get equipment or regain the resources. I would argue that they thought it was more dangerous to dig out equipment than to go to the forest. The decision to go to the forest would be more effort than to dig the tent out for clothes etc. On balance, why walk 1.5 KM to make snow shelters , fire etc. When you can dig out the tent and some of its resources?.
I don't mean to argue in a negative way. Please forgive me. I think they felt a threat, that threat was there was worse to come.
