Walked around the Healy area, widespread surface hoar up to 4mm from TL and above(smaller in wind affected terrain). Steeper solar slopes at treeline had the top 5cm turning moist, but stayed dry in the alpine. Numerous whumpfs on the thin and wind affected ridgetop of Pyramid Peak, but not on any other ridgetop. Skiing up to 10cm of nice low density pow with a supportive crust below, even to boots in many places.
