Disagreed. If it never rained before Crankworx Whistler last year it would have been a very dry and dusty event. There may be more winter riding days, but the summer days are getting too dry. IMO.
The type of trail damage you are talking about happens when people ride after a rain storm. If it gets too dry you wont even have trees to hold up the soil. And the wind will start to cause erosion. Peoples lawns looked like they were fertilizer burnt in the Vancouver area because it was so dry last year. Anyways, be cautious of what you are being a troll about. If BC starts to look like Utah, where will you get your water from?
Not sure where this was filmed (BC is a big place) but I can say that on southern Vancouver Island we have had no snow, which is pretty typical. We joke 2 weeks of winter, 2 weeks of summer the rest is either spring or fall.
Riding in Seattle I concur. We had the warmest longest summer I can remember in years, then we had fall for a month, skipped winter and went right into spring. It's been glorious riding this year in the PNW.
For those of you that live in places similar to these with pine trees and nice dirt, I'd much rather have snow for three months with those trails rather than full year of socal sand and desert shrubs.
