Hey, have any of you guys heard of this new stuff for backyard skiing called SnowGel?? It loooks pretty sick, you mix it with water and stir it up and spread it on carpet and it kinda turns to snow i guess. Or has anyone used it?

Check it out!

super duper very wrong!!!!!   just made first runs tonight.  scared the crap out of nipples!  I'll post up some pics as soon as I figure out how to get them out of the internal memory. 


anyway 1 container plus 5 gals of water..   nope  I used 1/2 the container and added over 3 gallons of water...  the shit was bouncy at first so we made it more runny by adding water.  okay, tossed 4- 30oz cups of the the stuff on the carpeted in run.  ended up scraping off 2 cups and putting back in the bucket - nips said it was too fast.

loong story short - plenty left over ,   maybe used a $1 worth of material.

I give up looking for the freakin cable.  I'll post up pictures of our set in detail and probably do a write up in Build-a-jib 101 

anyway for a back yard set up on carpet Snowgel is legit!
