Skiied the two runouts climbers right of Jimmy Jr Bowl, then did a third lap dropping into the bowl from the North. CT15 planar fracture at 45cms, suspect that this was the persistent slab reported in the forecast. Snow skiied excellent, did not feel unstable and no issues throughout the day. Several other groups on the mountain. Despite lots of sun, surface snow in the area stayed light and powdery and was not much of a concern. Wind was starting to lightly affect surface snow, however only in the alpine and in select areas. No wind slab thicker than approx 2cms, and was not present in on most of the aspect. A few small natural sluff slides observed in the bowl but nothing of consequence.
