Harvey Pow :-)

<p>Excellent day skiing light consistant powder near Harvey Pass. ======= 35cm new snow at 1800m. snowpack depth (HS) approx 280cm at 1800m. (Note: fernie ski hill got 50cm new at a slightly lower elevation). Brief flurry at midday deposited dusting of graupel. ======= This 35cm arrived without wind, but covers previously wind affected surface ... cornices / wind slab / wind loading still visible under the storm snow. Could still feel 'em with our skis + poles ======= No natural avalanche activity observed anywhere (good vis today), no results ski cutting, almost no sluffing while skiing. ======= Mostly overcast all day except for a couple of 15-minute glimpses of sun / blue sky .... stayed cold on north aspects, but expect there was moistening + surface consolidation on sun facing slopes. ======= -8 at 8:30 at 1700m -3 at 16:30 (same location) ======= Good times!</p>
