i just came in from a backyard sesh. I used astro turf with just a thin layer of snow. If you have an ice rink near by you can just go up and take the snow from there. If you just wet it down it works but you need a huge ass drop in to get speed. i would suggest looking for a near by ice rink

it was about 40$ for two 3ft wide and 10ft long strips. you might need a little more than that though because I already had some that I got for free
