Mountain travel has inherent risks, and Normal Caution is advised. There is the potential for small avalanches involving wet-loose snow on sunny, wind-sheltered slopes. Continue to avoid glide avalanche terrain such as Stairs Gulch, Broads Fork, Mill B South, and the Porter Slabs in upper Porter Fork. Expect a rising avalanche danger by mid-week with a significant warm-up."
