Quick report

We left car at 1045 slow travel to tincan proper via standard route broken skies throughout. Signs of wind transport on southwest aspect with tracks mostly filled in but still mostly visible . Climb to north of the saddle to summit was super sketchy. Wind slab probably 4 fingers did not dig a hand pit just hasty travel as close to cornice as safely possible. The south side was a beautiful soft wind slab that skied amazing with no signs of instability. Stomped several test slopes and skied very conservatively. The bottom debris pile was so bad. In better light maybe could find a better way out.
