Headed up Mt. Elma for an easy ski. Snow was wet and heavy from paradise meadows all the way up to the top of Elma. We noticed a light crust forming from around 1200m in the saddle between Elma and Alan Brooks and persisting all the way up to the top of Elma at 1400m. We didn't notice any signs of instability and the snow seems to be binding well.
