Route was classic Tincan with. a few laps in the upper tincan shoulder on low avalanche terrain and pushed into Tincan Trees. Snow quality is pretty decent with an interesting/poor structure at the bottom. We dug a total of 3 pits and we kept skiing and touring with caution and picked non/low avalanche terrain.
