Quick report

Wind slabs along ridge tops have resulted in multiple natural avalanches releasing during or after the March 19 storm. Storm snow is also not bonded to the old snow yet; however it has not formed a slab of it's own. Natural cornice fall from the recent storm event. Obvious wind effect on most slopes with new cornices growing largely since last Sunday.

Snowpack
Same snowpack that has existed in the Front Range all season. Storm snow that has felt a variety of wind depending on the aspect made it possible to find good creamy powder turns, but it rest on top of those few buried crusts with facets hiding underneath them that have been under the watchful eye all season.

Multiple avalanches on different aspects triggered by cornice falls. Likely occured during the storm on Thursday, March 19 given the lack of new snow on top of the debris.
