Put some soapy water on the carpet, it might work better

do the soapy water thing, if that doesn't work, get silicon spray...wax your skis the fuck up too.

some hockey areanas have steampits inside that they dump ice into to melt it but if ask someone that works there they can probably arrange to dump it outside for u
