There is currently a bootpack superhighway going up Elbert's winter route. Perfect weather and condish today. Beware of false trenches below treeline. The most-travelled path is correct.

How’s the snow coverage above treeline? Any possible ski lines from the summit yet?

there was one skier on the mountain, and he skied from the summit into the basin south of the east ridge (likely to get back to the south trailhead). Box creek looked to hold several good lines, as well as coverage out of that bowl.
