Considering that involved moving about 10,000 cubic feet of snow by hand - I thought that was reasonable for my age and physical condition. Some poor fellow in Toronto tried to tackle whatever he had to deal with in one shot, suffered a coronary and died on the spot.

Thing to keep in mind here is that this is supposed to be a fun venture and nobody has anything to prove. Do whatever you can to keep it that way.
Yes, that is a good way to put it. Divide and conquer. Some people can do that much in 24 hrs but its not for everyone. Like others have mentioned I think they should set it up in a two day event or relay type activity.
