Thanks I will try and find them on there. We ride a bit with vick and keely from mountain memories that could be the best way to find it a local guide. They know some awsome spots.

The best way to get to Harvey is from the Fernie side. Take the Morrisey Rd turn off about 10 miles southwest of Fernie and then turn onto the Lodgepole. If they're logging you can usually get to about 25-28 km on the Lodgepole road and stage just past the compressor station.
If you go in from Corbin...the first 15 km can be pretty rough.
If you go in from the Middle Kootenay...Pack gas, cause it's farther than it looks! It can also be pretty windswept on the BC side of the pass. As far as I know or remember...you can get around the river crossing, but it's a pretty long haul. Crossing the river shortens up the journey quite a bit...and it's not that bad! It's a fun trip coming in from Westcastle, but its a real long day. There's lot's of playing along the way, but it is pretty high exposure avy terrain!!
The place we always ride up the Harvey is called 29 mile...it's Bad A$$ when there's enough snow and you know where to go...
