I looked at this hardware store Home Depot but they didnt have it, so where would I be able to find it and how big of peices do they sell it in?

I've never heard of white snow fence? Snow fence is the orange stuff, so you can see it in the snow! I have a 50 foot roll and it works great on a hill, get some!

I finally found it, they sell it at any harware store in the garden department, they come in 4' x 8' peices for $20 but theyre worth it. Ill post a picture of my summer rail setup later today and let you all know if this shit works or not.

OK there is 2 kinds of orange fence one is thin and soft plastic that doesnt work/ the other is thicker and hard plastic, this slides but u have little control. U can get indoor/outdoor carpet, this works the best

TO CLEAR THINGS UP-

This is the orange plastic construction fence, avaliable in all good hardware stores dirt-cheap and works quite well


And this is called DENDIX, used all over the UK for dry-slopes, this pic is from hemel, uk. I dont think it is readily avaliable to buy in small quantities, and can be expensive.

i got it at OSH in the garden department, its $20 for a 8' x 4' slab. I used it today and it slides pretty good, you just need water. And what do you mean 'play grass'? if you mean astro turf it dosnt slide until you soak it in soapy water, then its pretty good, but you need a kinda steep hill.

astroturf isnt that expensive is it?? theres thinner astroturf and theres thicker astroturf. Thicker stuff is used at driving ranges for hitting and then thinner stuff is used at minature golf courses.

My stuff is kinda like that above, only the holes are a lot smaller so there's more plastic to ski on. I just got it yesterday. I'm trying to find enough ratty plywood to put under it, although i tried to skiied on it without, it seems to work better when theres a hard surface under it. Which makes sense obviously.

Snow control fence, but mine isn't actually like any of those. It's more like rectangles than square 'links' (if you can call them that), and smaller holes, like I said. But snow control fence is what they mean.

me and my friend just did a setup using turf and it works great, also ook into turf, and one sheet of neon light cover (funbox material) in the tranny should keep you going quick for cheap.

You're either talking about Dendex as GT said, or snowflex. Either way it's expensive as hell. I think new Snowflex (the stuff with no holes in) costs around £50 per sq. metre, and dendex (criss-cross stuff) is a bit less. You could probably pick it up cheap second hand, but there arn't many places in the U.S. that have it i think.
