I never suggested it did as I know the total for the year will not increase 40%. The huge increase is a positive which will create momentum while also making volunteers realize that what they have been doing is worthwhile especially this season with all the early negatives and all the work to be done in reinstating trails.
It without fail always rains when it warms up.:
We can handle a thaw - it's the 50 t0 70mm rain that ruins everything!
Fingers crossed - we're locked in and good to go here.
It is a unique place in that it has lots of cottage roads making for quick set up and the elevation of it makes for some good snow coverage - not all of it, but there is always one section that get more snow and in much better shape, that the other half, not so much.
