since i cant go to the mountain yet my mom says cause i ruptured my spleen, im wondering what works better for skiing in a back yard and hitting rails and stuff. I see alot of fake grass stuff and looks like it works pretty good like snow, but then theres these wierd donut thingys that are in bunches, anyone know what im talking about?

AYYO DONT USE SNOW FAAANCE NUKKA

your edges will slice it up and it flaps up and eventually you will find yourself hitting your lip with one ski on the fence and one ski UNDER the fence and that sucks balls

tarp is the best i've used the outdoor carpet and sucks so bad! But the tarp works perfect every time with some soap and water
