Hiked up Mt. Harvey trail on Christmas morning. Consistent snow coverage starting at approximately 800m. Snow from 1100m to 1350m was upwards of a meter deep and consolidated with a very firm crust on top (but unfortunately not strong enough to walk on, so we had to break trail all the way). Would have been awful for skiing. Snow depth on the ridge (1350m to 1600m) was anywhere from 30cm to 150cm depending on how wind affected it was. Lots of big drifts.
