It shouldn't be hard this time, not much snow and only the last part is steep. We should be able to finish it 8-10 hours.
You are completely fine with this trip. You are very welcome to join us. By the way, I am not faster than you.
The weather is so nice this weekend. Plan to stay on top of Ridge for 1 hour for view seeing and afternoon nap.

A beautiful day on Mt. Harvey today. No snow until reaching the ridge at 1400m (mid February!!) then occasional hard snow but microspikes stayed in the pack. Steeper parts of ridge were bare. No wind, warm in the sun, cold in the shade. Looked like Mt. Unnecessary area had a bit more snow. A-1 stellar hiking day! :)
Thanks Lulu.
I really like snow covered Garibaldi Lake, with some blue water part is just perfect. Don't want to miss this kind of view this year.
Harvey is too short. Mai Mang and me did once with very icy winter condition, car to car within 6 hours. I need a trail a bit longer to kill my whole day. :D :D
