i dont think its steep enough, dont stop until you consistently double eject every time you manage to get going down it after falling several times trying to click in.

I don't need a better place to stand on it works, all I need is less of an angle on the ramp. socktrooper and I, went around my town taking wood from people so it cost us nothing and thats what we could make with what we got. I plan on just piling snow up at the bottom to lessen the angle, it should work then. Maybe come summer ill make it better but for now its good enough.

you could try putting some wood under the ramp to lift it up and lessen the angle, then just pile snow at the bottom and make it smooth

Yea but the ramp wont move so I just put another piece of wood against the ramp and wood under it so it didn't flex and when it snows some more ill add snow to lessen the angle.

well I shoveled my yard and got enough snow to hit the ramp and its a success. But I must admit putting on my skis up there is really sketchy.
