Local daytrip to Mount Harvey, just behind The Lions.

Please note that this trip will involve a steady pace for 5-7 hours of skinning.  Total elevation will be ~1,850m of climbing (though there could be an option to skip the second lap).  We will take relatively short breaks.

Skiing involves black diamond trees in variable snow.

BRING A HEADLAMP!!  We start in the dark. 

The Plan

• Meet at St Davids at 6:30am
• Drive to Lion's Bay, skins on snow by 7:15am
• See the sunrise as we climb the logging road, approx 4 hour climb up the road
• Lunch on the summit before 12-noon....with stunning Howe Sound views (weather dependent)
• Ski 600m run down towards Harvey Creek
• Skin up our same uptrack for another run from the summit
• Ski down the run, then down logging road to the car(s)
• Back at the cars before 4:00pm
