We dug a pit while entering Depth Hoar Bowl in an area protected from above by large trees. WOW, HS = 240 cm or about 100'. Photos of pit below. We were impressed by the upper and mid-pack, very solid. We did not excavate to the ground. A bit of variability with some old wind crusts but no signs of shear planes or weaknesses. Ski pole at the base of the pit is tagging the ground.

Photos below: Sluffs in Toots to Boot and east facing Alexander's. They both looked like minor cornice falls a from above.

Photo below (bad light): Skinning up Depth Hoar Bowl, We felt comfortable walking right up the center of the bowl after viewing two generations of debris from above and below. Typically not the best place to put a skin track, but in this case it was likely the least amount of hazard of all three runs skied today. All of the recent debris was soft and skiable, the older debris consisted of hard chunks and such. We probed for hollow areas while breaking trail. This is an example of skiing a steep line in low danger on a day with typically higher danger.

Hard call on the hazard, I am tempted to say moderate due to the lack of red flags and bomber snow pit data, but with recent activity and forecasted snow I am going to say considerable. We based our travel in Alexander's today in areas that had slid, staying on debris when possible. The fact we were not willing to step out into other areas warrants caution.
