Quick tour up Elma on a beautiful, calm day. No signs of instability, solar aspects were getting moist around noon and trees were starting to bomb on the descent. Still good turns to be had higher up, although getting a little crusty in the trees descending toward the lake. Observed widespread surface hoar in open areas from near the trailhead all the way to the summit.
