Our general Normal Caution wording reads as follows: This is not a specific avalanche problem. It is used by UAC forecasters most often when avalanche conditions are generally safe and there is no predominant avalanche problem. Any avalanche type is possible but the most common would be wind slab, loose wet, and loose dry avalanches and they would be expected to be small. Do not approach a Normal Caution avalanche problem as an “anything goes” situation. Continue to keep your guard up and look for any signs of snow instability. Evaluate snow and weather conditions as you travel.

Wet avalanches may be possible with warming today. If the snow becomes unsupportable and unstable, seek low angle terrain.

Cornices become tender and unstable during periods of sun and heating. Give them a wide berth.

Glide avalanches are possible in the usual terrain of Stairs, Broads, and Mill B South in BCC and upper Porter Fork of MCC. Remember these are large and destructive avalanches.
