some outdoor carpet works fairly well when wet and soapy. Some people have said that a wet tarp slides well, but i've never tried it. In my experience, astro turf with soap and water slides the best.

Make an inrun out of rails so you can pop off a lip made of rails and disaster onto another rail and then 270 off on to some more rails!

This could not possibly fail.

you can usually get it at home depot, or other stores that sell carpteing, or have a home/garden kinda section.

Buy a snow cone machine and lots of ice. You can have an inrun built after about 12 hours of ice shaving. Make sure you have some portable air conditioners so the artificial snow does not melt.

Dendex, Snowflex & Permasnow. Get drastic on that plastic!

Also frost skiing is ace. Find a hill with long grass on it with fresh morning frost, works a dream.

ice. the stuff they use at the water ramps at lake placid is like this rough carpet stuff. if you can find it and water it it should work for you. you could probably buy it somewhere.
