Summer set-up help

I'm using a slope in my backyard for the inrun. I put carpet over it and a little ramp. The grass is full of weeds and dirt patches. When I ski over on it, I mash the grass, and when I hike up, I cut up the grass with my boots. What should I do? Would weed killer and fertilizer help?

Just some plastic so I don't crash the posts. It's a long story and I just built the rail wrong. It's nothing really.

Did you read my post? I don't think I'll find anything about keeping the grass good.

maybe use orange fencing, it might cut up the grass but might not do as much damage as carpet
