Didn't see any signs of avalanche until the terrain got steeper, when we began to see small slabs release from the skin track. A compression test confirmed a very touchy storm slab well below treeline. We turned around and the group ahead of us decided to turn around as well. We left before the forecast was updated to considerable below treeline and would strongly agree with that assessment.
