just water, over your drop-in (whatever the top is) and on the grass, and on the ramp.

the fence works well but you need the right kind, i used it in the grass last year with grass sticking through and it still worked, this year im gonna put it on top of turf, and i stole it from my school when they were doing construction

orange fence isn't very good, turf with soap and water is best, or you can space out PVC across two parrell 2x4's it's hard to control but it's fast

it can last longer than that usually if you are smart about the way you set it up. We had many 80-90 degree night sessions(I live in atlanta and I wouldnt recommend hitting a rail in 80+ degree temps. It sucks hardcore). But we got snow last may/june to last until the next day in the summer. We even built a jump with the extra snow one night on another session. It was prob only about 3-4 trash can loads too. If you put the turf down, and put a little bit of snow on top of it, like an inch or so, you use less snow, but you get the same effect as deeper snow(unless you have to build a jump with snow).

You can also use bags of ice on top of turf. It actually works surprisingly well, and you dont need much at all.
